I felt like I needed to repair the spare before I dropped my tank just in case. So, first I bead blasted the pin fastener on top of the body and on bottom. I checked it and no ohms. Then I took a pocket size screwdriver to clean out under the fastener. It had a bunch of rust between the fastener and the insulating rubber.I dug all the rust out then tested it...and it works now! It now has the same amount of ohms the jumper gave me.
I know its not 100% clean under the fastener(see pic) but disassembling that fastener would do a ton of damage to the rubber and the ribbon.Without a rebuild kit that I know of this should last awhile. Maybe I can get some wd40 under there as well.
Now I gotta drop the tank. Not looking forward to it.I will let you know what I find.
Thanks again!
