just purchased a Auto Meter fuel gauge fromSummit. I figured it would be easy...but something just isn't working correctly. The new gauge reads 1/4 tank lower than it really is (e.g., when I fill it to the top, the gauge reads 3/4...etc).
Anyway, the guage has "S", "G" and "Ign" post on the rear. Obviously, send, ground and ignition. However, the stock gauge has just two connections ( a black wire/boot and an orange wire/boot). I assumed that the black was a ground and the orange was the sender.......but that didn't seem to work out.
Way I've got it now: orange to "ign" and black to "send".....I've just run a good ground to the "G" terminal. Why would it seem to work but just be off by 1/4 tank??
Stock Gauge-
red wire from stock gauge is:_______________
black wire from stock gauge is:______________
On the new gauge:
connect_______________to "ign"
connect_______________to "g"
connect ______________to "S"
Thanks for the help in advance.
