Hi,
I;ve already done a search but no luck. Does anyone know the ohms on the stock sender? i need to know b/c i am replacing my broken fuel guage w/ an autometer... TIA

Nam

 

ttt

 

ttt, come one no one can help me out on this one at all? =/

 

someone help the poor guy, God knows I have no idea what hes talking about lol

 

umm i guess what i am referring to is the ohms that the stock sender is putting out... I have no idea either it was a question that was asked when i was ready to make the purchase but they said i needed to know that first so they can supply the right one... =/

 

no one in this itr board can assist me in this at all? come on guys...

 

come one peeps help me out... TIA

 

someone help me please?

 

hmm. i dont know exactly what this has to do with one another, but 12 volts DC run thru the cluster.

plug this into ohm's law and get the proper resistor you need for your after market fuel guage.

you do not need the stock fuel guage ohm rating to figure out what resistance ohm rating you need for the new guage.

more elaboration. V = IR.

Lets say you want to power guage rated at 3.6 volts/20mA...

voltage is 3.6 = 20mA * R calculate the R.

throw this resistor in series with the connection to the guage cluster or which ever power source and you are good to go. Be sure to calculate all readings in their stock universal form. (mA = amp * 10^-3) ... and to pick up the appropiate ohm resistor. for the equation above, it ended up that a 220 ohm resistor is required.
