98srx6
New member
I bought a 98 srx at the end of last winter and the gas guage didnt work (always reads empty). I have checked all connections that i could get at without really digging into the sled, also the float is free in the tank. I dont know how to test the sending unit on this sled. Hopefully somebody here has heard of this problem and can offer me some advice.

With the connector of the sending unit disconnected, place an ohm meter across the two terminals of the connector leading to that sending unit..... With the float up, ie. full tank of gas, you should measure anywhere between 4 to 10 ohms..... With the float down, ie. empty tank of gas, you should measure roughly 80 to 100 ohms.....
If the unit varies resistance with height or lack of height of float, then the problem likely lies elsewhere.....
Post results and then check back....
