4. Place a sheet of insulating material between the front frame and the electrical connections on the rear of the
instrument panel to prevent contact between the two.
5. Disconnect the purple wire from the fuel gauge/hour meter.
6. Set a multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the positive post of the battery.
Place the black (–) probe on the negative post of the battery. Record the voltage reading.
7. Set a multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe on the (2) terminal of the fuel gauge/hour meter with
the red/white wire is connected. Place the black (–) probe on the (1) terminal of the fuel gauge/hour meter with
the black wire
(Figure 18-21, Page 18-41) .
8. Turn the key switch ON. The voltage reading should be the same as the battery voltage reading recorded earlier.
If not, check the continuity of the red/white and black wires
(Figure 18-21, Page 18-41) .
9. The purple wire should remain disconnected for this step. Place the black probe of the multimeter on the (1)
terminal of the fuel gauge/hour meter and place the red (+) probe on the (4) terminal of the fuel gauge/hour
meter
(Figure 18-22, Page 18-41) . The voltage reading should be approximately 4.94 volts. If the reading is
