    Fuel gauge

    I noticed yesterday when I select my right 10 gallon tank, my fuel gauge pegs to empty left side stop limit on gauge it appears. Guessing it’s the sending unit but wondered if there’s a way to test this?

    When they peg out past full usually means somethings is unplugged or open —when they read very low below empty something is shorted —-at least on cars lol

    Thanks guys. I took a look at it today and I believe it was a loose butt connector at the sending unit. Wiggle test on both ends showed some play in one. I recrimped it and gauge is working now.
