Hi All,
Another 1985 wiring mystery. I had to replace the fuel level sender in our Ericson 30+ 1985. Was having a hell of a time getting it to work. I've learned, when doing anything test after every step.
The sender worked fine hooked up directly to the gauge, sender wire to sender gauge, sender ground to gauge ground. But then using the original ground - nothing. Chasing the ground from the original sender it is connected to the fuel fill gasket under the deck. This made absolutely no sense to me. So I grounded the sender directly to the gauge and left the original ground connected to the new sender ground as a precaution until I understand this more.
Any thoughts? I need the sender to work but also want to make sure everything is cool.
Thanks
