the fuel level sender wiring harness leads. With the
help of an assistant, touch both harness leads
together.
2. From the operator cab, have the assistant turn the
ignition key switch to the RUN position. DO NOT
start the engine. Observe the fuel level indicator
needle on the operator instrument cluster. When the
two wires are shorted, a full tank should be shown
on the fuel gauge.
3. Turn the ignition key switch to the OFF position. The
fuel level indicator needle should return to the
EMPTY position.
b. Fuel Level Circuit Tests
If the fuel level indicator is suspected of giving a false
reading, perform the following checks:
1. If the fuel level indicator needle does not move,
check the fuel tank for fuel.
2. Check for loose or defective wiring, faulty ground
connections or corrosion on the fuel tank sender and
wiring lead.
3. If the fuel level indicator needle does not move after
the ignition key switch is turned to the RUN position,
use a test lamp to determine whether current is
flowing from the ignition switch to the fuel level
sender.
4. If the fuel level indicator does not move and a faulty
or defective fuel level sender in the fuel tank has
