Hey Guys,
My BF gtx has a weird condition. The fuel gauge refuses to work unless i fill the car completely. Then it will read normally between full and about 7/8 tank, anything below that level the gauge just dies... falls to E. Analogue cluster.
I tried swaping both sending units with some from a parts car I had. I see there is a procedure to check the resistance on the float sensors, but I figured I'd try a quick post on here first seeing as I wont have time to pull the car apart untill next weekend.
Anyone had a similar issue or any thoughts as to what I should check first? The car has always had this problem, since I bought it about 5 years ago. I dont really know how the dual sending units work together to give a signal to the gauge. Can anybody enlignten me?
Thanks in advance. Any input appreciated.

EDIT- oh, just thought I'd mention. The low fuel light still works great.... Thank goodness.
Also, I tried looking up the testing procedure in the manual above, my connector is 6 pins for the main pump side (lh) and 4 pins for the transfer pump side (rh). The diagram specifies 4wd, mine dosnt look like that though. Anyone know if the resisance values should still work?
