To diagnose a faulty original you can easily test your sending unit with just a multimeter:

1. Set your multimeter to resistance (ohms).
2. Connect one probe to the unit’s terminal and the other to the mounting plate (ground).
3. Manually move the float arm slowly from the bottom (empty) to top (full):
   • You should see a reading sweep from approximately 73 ohms (empty) to 10 ohms (full).
4. Erratic, stuck, or no readings? Time to replace it.

Pro Tip: You can use this same test on the new unit before installing it to confirm functionality.
