<VV> HELP in a hurry info on fuel gauge

[Charles Morgan]

When the gauge always reads full or above full, it usually means an open 
circuit between the sender and the gauge.  The ground at the sender is the 
usual first suspect--but you say that is good.  The next most probable 
cause (as Matt mentioned) is an open in the sender (crud or open winding), 
but it could also be in one of the wire harness connectors between the 
two.  With the key on and the connector removed from the sending unit, you 
should read a positive voltage between the connector terminal and 
ground.  If you do, the sender is probably bad.  If not, check continuity 
through the wire harness connectors.
