PROGRESS!

I took my spare sending units lower box apart and cleaned the contact points then reassembled it.. I also noticed I had power only to the pin on the body..The flat ribbon wire that goes from the body to the box had no power. So, I ran a jumper from the body to the box....and my spare now works. It will need new end fasteners somehow though between the ribbon wire. It even shows the correct level on my car gauge in testing.

We also now have 91.3 ohms at full and 6.1 ohms at empty.

I will pull my tank unit tomorrow and see if that is the same issue on that piece.

The second pic shows the area that power is lost to the pin (and below). No idea how I will duplicate this connection without damage. But luckily my in tank sending unit has NO rust at all on it. This spare was good for a guinea pig anyhow.


Thanks guys..I owe you both!!
