Sending Unit Operation Check

When a problem occurs with a cluster gauge check for a defective sending unit or wiring. Do this before disassembling the cluster.
1. Sending units and wiring can be checked by grounding the connector leads at the sending unit in the vehicle.
2. With the ignition in the ON position, a grounded input will cause the fuel or temperature gauge to read at or above maximum.
