Hello can someone tell me if the printed circuit board controls the fuel gauge?
I replaced the sending unit and the float and my gauge still doesn’t work.
Thanks

the wiring connects to the printed circuit board that connects it to the gauge. Yes it is part of the circuit.

Welcome, make sure the circuit board copper runners are in contact with the clips on the gauge.

Sending unit having a good ground is equally important.

Where does your gauge point? 3 o'clock is an open circuit (broken wire/connection) and 9 o'clock is a grounded out unit.

Thanks for the info. It’s stuck on E from what I can recall. I’ll double check in am.

I just corrected my above post as I had it backwards. Sorry for any confusion.
