OK so I have a 96 s14 bone stock and my gas gage doesn't work so I pulled out my sending unit and found the black resistor looking thing solder had broke front the other resistor so I soldered it back on plugged it all back in and the gas gauge still sit's below E so I pulled it back out and check ohms and all is in spec

So what can I check next I'm going to try and upload a pic of the sending unit so yall can tell if I soldered it right

Am I posting wrong or something cause no one seems to want to help
I know people has messed with these things before
So can anyone shine some light on this for me

Agamemnon

Have you checked continuity between the fuel sender and gauge?

Gearhead9992

No I haven't I'll check that tomorrow and I'm assuming I re soldered it to the right place

Gearhead9992

Just checked the wire and holly crap I have 33ohms of resistance

So while I'm at work I'm gonna make temporary wire to bypass the original and see if it works

Thank you agamemnon I made a bypass wire and as soon as I put the sending unit in the tank and hooked that wire up my low fuel light came on and the gauge started rising so now I will make a permanent wire

Agamemnon

Don't do that. Check your harness connections. If your fuel sender signal is broken, chances are something else is as well.

Everything else in the circuit is working and I'm only replacing that one wire

And I figured out the only thing that the bypass wire fixed was my low fuel light
