How can I Check my fuel gauge for 12 volts?
Connect the black lead of the multimeter to the “G” or ground terminal of the gauge. The multimeter should indicate 12 volts. If 12 volts are not present, check the fuel gauge fuse and wiring for defects. Repair or replace as required. Check the fuel gauge ground by connecting the red lead of the multimeter to a known good 12-volt source.
What happens if fuel gauge reads less than full?
If the gauge reads “Full” then the gauge is good. If the gauge reads less than “Full” then the gauge is defective and must be replaced. Remove the sending unit lead wire from he sending unit on the fuel tank if the gauge reads “Empty” but the gauge checks out good in Step 3.
Can a fuel gauge be removed from a Harley Davidson?
If you have a lot of resistance or feel like you have to pull hard on the harness, stop and reevaluate. Something is wrong. The wires should pull through with little effort during Harley Davidson fuel gauge removal. If you are replacing your stock gauge with an aftermarket gauge, you should use the same factory plugs and pin connectors.
Is the fuel sending unit or the fuel gauge?
2001 FLHT ELECTRA GLIDE. My fuel guage needle pegs back and forth with vibration. I took the tank hold down bolts out as if to remove the tank, and it seemed to stop jumping around. Does this sound like the sending unit or the gauge???

What are the wires on a fuel gauge?
Note the order of the three wires and their orientation within the plug. The orange wire is +12V, the black is ground, and the yellow wire sends the signal for gauge function. To remove the three wires from their plug, you can use a small electrical pick.
