Good for you. I am glad my experience can help.
I was really surprised that the information was so scattered. It is a basic circuit. It took time to find the range of OHMs for a good sender. I get the feeling that the sender is usually the cause, and the gauge is pretty reliable.
My frustration was that the threads I found were not good at troubleshooting the gauge, wiring, and sender seperately.
By the way twisting the knobs on the resistance box and watching the gauge move to nice steady settings is fun.
