Fuel Sender Ohms?

Is the ohm range for the sender 15 ohms(empty) and 160 ohms(full)?

Does anyone know what color the wires are for the factory sender or which harness they are in?

I'm working on a little project but want to try somethings out first.

Thanks,
Mike

I think the spec is:

Full is 16, and empty is 158 ohms, as measured to ground, but your numbers should be close enough.

Wire is pink/yellow, and can be found on Pin 100 of the PCM.

If you have one, it can also be found at the overhead console.

What is not known is the corresponding voltages (if any) that appear on that wire at these two points, i.e., a PCM-internal pull-up voltage to enable it to measure that resistance.

So, are you going to let us in on your little secret?

It's nothing fantastic just adding a second fuel tank under the bed, but want to use the factory gauge. Kind of like the OBS trucks with dual tanks.

Thanks Pop!
