Hi, All.
My low fuel light quit working. So far, that's as far as I've gotten with my trouble shooting.
I did have the tank off, and I checked the connector when the light first didn't work. I figure I can use that connector to check both the level sensor and the bulb. I plan to put 12V to the bike side to check the bulb (inless someone tells me that there's not 12V on that circuit).
My question is: how does the fuel level sensor work? Note that this is for a low fuel light, not a fuel level gauge. I can check for resistance, but that's no good if I don't know what I should be reading when the tank is empty or full. I expect that it should read infinite resistance with gas and low/no resistance when it's empty, but wanted to check in case there's soemthing more complicated that goes on.
Thanks,
Brian
