@^$%#$! Gauges!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Alright...I'm so damn frustrated I feel like taking my .45 to my Jeep! My CJ
was in need of a new fuel gauge. I tried grounding the wire and couldn't get
the darn thing to move no matter what. I checked the ohms on the sender and
get about 20 ohms on a more than 1/2 tank...seems okay there. It's an
aftermarket gauge so I'm not sure if the posts are switched around. To be
safe I also bought a new temp gauge also. So tonight I hooked everything up,
turned the key and the needle spiked on the fuel gauge. I turned the key
back because I didn't want to blow the gauge...I know I don't have a
completely full tank. I changed the wires on the back of the fuel gauge,
turned the key and same thing. I pulled the pink wire off and grounded it to
check the ohms again on the sender. I left it off and started the jeep to
see if the temp gauge worked. Again without the pink wire on...the fuel
gauge spiked. I reach up under to pull the hot wire and got some sparks. Now
I'm not sure if the damn new gauge is toast or not. I quit after that. Any
insight to this $%#@! problem?
Thanks!
Allen
