ok I thought buying a new sending unit fixed my fuel gauge problem but apparently it did not.
So I installed a new sending unit and still the gauge is not reading properly, on empty it read 1/2 a tank and on full it reads way past the full indicator, here is what happened, the car fuel gauge worked fine prior to engine rebuild. after rebuilding it stopped working along with the Tach, so after I brought it to a different mechanic, the 2 wires in the trunk for the fuel sending unit were cut and not even connected. now after they are connected is when this thing started happening, I have new voltage regulator, circuit board and everything works except the Tach & Fuel Gauge not reading correctly ( could these 2 be related )
Could it be a ground issue, its a brand new sending unit just installed ( my mechanic did test new unit is manually before installing it by moving it and it did read correctly on the gauge from E to F ) a
So I am thinking since previous sending unit did the same thing it may be a ground issue related to those 2 wires that were cut, could you guide me on how to test the ground and trace them in trunk or anyone would suggest anything.
