Testing Fuel Gauge

86 F150 w/side tank. Does the tank have to come down to find the wires to check the non-workikng fuel gauge. What wires do I check?

Thanks,

Chuck

Two wires in a rubber cap plug onto the sending unit. Not sure if you have to drop a side tank, but it's Gumby accessable on the rear tank. Just feel around near where the fuel line terminates.

Thanks for the reply. As far as being able to feel much of anything, well, I can't. At least not when lying on my back and reaching up to where I cannot see a thing.
