If your Scout II fuel gauge or sender is not working correctly, we have a troubleshooting guide for you.<\/p>\n

There are four basic parts of the fuel indicator system.<\/p>\n

1. Gauge<\/p>\n

2. Regulator<\/p>\n

3. Path through the wiring harness<\/p>\n

4. Sender<\/p>\n

All four components have to be working 100% in order to read “full” when full and “empty” when empty.<\/p>\n

The regulator is the place to start. The regulator has 12-14 volts going in and about 5 volts coming out. \u00a0It is really 12 volts, switched on\/off averaging 5 volts.<\/p>\n

If yours is not working you can buy a new regulator\u00a0here<\/a> on Scoutparts.com.<\/p>\n

Now you must make sure that you have a working gauge. \u00a0And being that you have just tested your regulator, you can use it to test your gauge.<\/p>\n

Once you have proven that you have a working Scout II gauge and regulator the next thing to test is the sender. You will have to drop the fuel tank and remove the sender. The sender should have 0 ohms at full and 90 ohms empty. \u00a0A sender can be purchased here<\/a> on Scoutparts.com.<\/p>\n

The last thing to test is the connection from tank to dash gauge. It must have zero ohms of resistance.<\/p>\n

It is very common to have 20 or 50 ohms of resistance in the wire. \u00a0This is due to corrosion on the connectors as the current travels through the wiring harness.<\/p>\n

With those 4 tests, you should be able to troubleshoot the problem of a faulty fuel gauge.<\/p>\n
