Was going to calibrate my fuel tanks today on my RV10. In the Garmin I set up the calibration page to Fuel 1, Resistance sender, starting voltage displayed .005 volts. Added fuel and nothing changed. Ended up putting in 15 gallons and no change on the G3X.
So was thinking my floats were stuck so I checked the ohms on the sender itself and it looked to be reading just fine. As I drained fuel, the ohm reading kept changing so now I knew the floats were working.
Still got the same reading of .005 volts on the G3X
Then thinking this may be a ground issue, I connected the ohm meter in line between the sender and the wire going to the Garmin. I was getting the correct readings so thinking the ground is ok on the sender to tank and that hte wire is hooked into the Garmin.
I then thought maybe the wires in the GEA may have been put into the wrong pins so checked the aux tank 3 and 4 and they also read the same amount.
So, out of ideas on where to go from here. Any ideas out there.
Thanks for any help.
