Need more advice on fuel guage.
I just had a new Fuel Sending Unit that I bought from the local dealer, cost me $100 bucks or whatever. I had nearly a full tank of gas so thats what it read .. but after 200 miles, it still read full tank. So I took it back and they said the float was stuck at the top.. and they sat it down, and it read 1/4 of a tank .. so I put 3 gallons in it, and it didn't move.. but I figured since its a big tank to begin with, 3 gallons didn't phase it.
Now I have drivin 50 miles since they put the float down and the needle hasn't moved. My fuel low light still works but that wasn't ever an issue. I tested the relay switch under the hood and according to my haynes manual, it tests fine.. (although the haynes manual doesn't say how many Ohms it should read). The place that i had it installed at are very good and they said the FSU tests fine (ohm wise and moving it manually watching the gauge)...
Does anyone have any suggestions at all.. or know what Ohms the relay should be reading at ?
Oh, the fuel system is pressurizing and the fuel pump works just fine.
