Hello,
I am a new owner of a 2010 Sundeck 260 and have an issue where the fuel gauge isn't properly reading the level of fuel. I've done some research and digging and see that I can try to test the sending unit and the fuel gauge, but this isn't as simple as I thought for two reasons:
1. The sending unit has three wires (SSI Fuel Sender), not two as it seems every test refers to. There's the pink 200B, the black 201B, and the darker redish 202. All troubleshooting sites seem to say touching the pink and black wires together should peg the gauge, but when I do that, nothing happens. I haven't tried with the 202 wire.
2. The fuel gauge is pretty inaccessible but from what I can see, it doesn't have the traditional wiring connected to the back, and instead has a blue, red, yellow wire that I assume connect to the computer. I could be wrong on the colors but that's what it looked like when I quickly looked.
Not really sure where I should go from here. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to troubleshoot this? Additionally, if I need to buy replacement parts, I cannot seem to find the sender or the fuel gauge online.
Sender part: 1978836 - SENDING UNIT, FUEL GAS SSI 20.4" 3WR 6RWP
Gauge part: 1948037 - GAUGE, FUEL LEVEL S/CRFT 2"SB
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
