Somewhere in,
Colorado
I've had this problem just like so many others over the years and with most of the DSMs I've owned. However, it's usually a level sender issue, and now I'm not sure what part is the problem. Normally, my low lever light comes on when there's 1/4 left in the tank, according to the gauge and I've reached 200ish miles since filling it. Yesterday, the light came on at half a tank and the same miles. I've finally had enough and I opened the driver side of the tank up. I wanted to get both sides opened, but only had my multitool, so couldn't open the pump side. So on the driver side, I have like half a tank left...
Yet the gauge and light show this....
I watched the gauge when I unplugged the sender, and it dropped to empty like it should. When I plugged it back in, and raised to float to the highest point, the gauge returned to half, and the light came back on. This weekend I'm pulling the pump side out and checking it too, but what else can I inspect? Is there a way to check the light circuit? I know I can check the gauge, but gotta find the info again. Any info is welcomed and appreciated.
