OILYSPIL thanks I'm not sure if I understood your answer the constant voltage regulator only has two terminals, I am sure one goes to the gauge but I assume to work it must have some 12volts from somewhere, the sender is fine, and the single sender wire is fine at 10 to 77 OHMs so are you saying that s the second terminal on the CVR should be attached to the sender, if so where does the CVR get its power from?? help again oilspill, please the CVR is also earthed Help
