86 B2 fuel guage/sending unit?

[danboy282]

the fuel gauge on my 86 B2 Eddie Bauer doesn't work. Is the sending unit in the fuel tank? If yes, do i have to drop the tank to get to it?

Thanks again

Drop it, or cut an access hole in the floor

did it stop working suddenly or start reading too low then finally quit? check the wires on the back of the gauge cluster for a bad connection. while thats out put an ohm meter on the wires and measure the resistance to the sending unit. if i remember it should be 10 ohm for full tank and 70 for empty. i could be wrong but if its really high or reads as a broken circuit then ur sending unit is bad.
