Hi guys,

Tried hooked up my fuel gauge today to my 105E

If I put 12v to the back of the gauge it goes all the way up to full when I have the gauge grounded.

With sending wire in place of ground it sits at Empty.

I know it's not full though, new sending wire from float to dash.

Does the float need to be grounded to the body?
Does the tank need to be grounded?
If the tank is grounded is it causing the wire to short?

Thanks for any help.
If I have power and the

12V on one side of the fuel gauge and other side, wire to a wire wound variable resistor ( sender unit ). Resistance range ~ 12-22 ohms ( full ) to
~240-290 ohms ( empty ). Sender unit should be grounded - lugged wire mounted from a sender unit screw to body.

Fantastic.

Thank you!

I can't remember, does the 105e have a instrument voltage stabilizer like the Cortina had???

Good point, Brett. 10 V voltage stabilizer on the instrument panel for the fuel and temp gauge. So, actually ~10 V on one side of the fuel gauge terminal
instead of 12 V. Either way the gauge operated when touching the wire to the sender unit was grounded.
