Carver 430 Fuel sending unit wiring
Posted: January 19th, 2025, 5:14 pm
Hey to all the 430 owner/captains out there. Im working on my fuel gauge and sending units. The gauge didn't work on any of the tanks. Come to discover that one of the PO's removed the wiring harness connecting the gauge to the tank selector switches. #facepalm... I was wondering if one of ya'll could take a picture under the helm the helm so I can recreate the wiring. Im sure I can create it on my own, but a picture would sure save me a bunch of time. Also could somebody take a picture of the aux tank sending unit? I dont think mine is grounded properly. Just a pic of the top of the tank with the wires connected would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I removed my aux tank sending unit. It was corroded and I've ordered a replacement. I also tested the fuel gauge. It did not register correctly from 33-240 ohms so I ordered a new VDO gauge too. I have traced down the pink wires to each tank. Still need to test the 3 position switch, but i'll likely just replace it...if I can get it unscrewed from the dashboard.
