Yes access to the sending unit is easy. I ran a direct jumper to the unit
from the gauge with no improvements.

Any Ideas?


If you put a voltmeter across the sending unit do you get a reading?
The sender is basically a variable resistor so there should be some
voltage there unless the wiring is open some place else.


How about putting an Ohm meter across the terminals. Tells you if it
is either open or shorted.
