Good Day All-
I purchased a 2000 M1123 last September and it arrived this February. Since it's arrival I've been replacing a bunch of parts (all the rubber hoses, fuel pump(s), injectors, 1/0 electrical cable, etc). Before this work, my fuel gauge was operational. I removed the gage cluster when the truck was repainted, but when I reinstalled the gauge panel, I must've "Reversed" the wires in the fuel gage because it looks like it "Pegged" counter clockwise (or far below "E"). Are these gages polarity sensitive? Is there a chance I damaged the sending unit? I ordered a replacement gauge, but now I'm question the problem. It seems like I have 24v on the "Signal" wire, and that can't be good. I have the TMs, but struggling to find a test procedure to narrow down how the gauge failed. And it looks like the gauge needle actually bent when it went full CC.
I appreciate any insight.
Thank You-
