Fuel Gauge stopped working after sitting for a month or so. Here is what I have checked and are okay (note temperature gauge works fine):
1. Fuse on Green wire side is good
2. Instrument Voltage regulator has 12 volts on Green/Black wire (again temp gauge works)
3. All wires connected including the one at the fuel tank
4. All other items tied to the Green wire system, like wipers, temp gauge, heater all work fine.
5. I put a circuit tester on the one side of the Green/black tab on the guage (from the Voltage regulator) and it lit up bright.
6. I put a circuit tester on the gauge on the side (Green/black wire) that comes from the fuel tank, it lit up dim but the gauge needle then registered the 6 gallons that were in the tanks (note I triple checked this again, and again and again as it seemed interesting).
Does this mean I have a bad gauge
