I can get this reading of full by grounding out the sending unit. Since I
don't have anything but a test light, I can't check ohms or anything,
however, the light bulb in the test light fluctuates in intensity as I
check power at the sending unit wire. I've checked ground, but according
to the wiring diagram the green/black wire doesn't go anywhere but to the
gauge. What more should I check to make sure I don't have a power problem?
Thanks in advance, Nina
