[DeTomaso] fuel gauge sending unit

[B Hower]

 Mike, 

The wires in my photo are some I made up for testing .. the ones that go to the gauge are original ... I have grounded each of them and got the full tank reading and the low level light so my no gauge reading must be problem with sending unit .....
Thanks for photo, and that unit can be removed while tank in car, that is what I was needing. Looks like I will need a new sending unit.

 Bud,

Here is a pic of the factory wiring:



Somebody has replaced your stock wires with generic white and black wires, which is not helpful!

The white and black wire on the left goes to the gauge, and the yellow wire on the right goes to the idiot light. 

And yes you can pull the sender without removing the tank, or removing the window. Corey Price just did it last week….
