OK mate.
I'll write myself a note and do it for you.
When do you need it by?
No rush mate, in the next couple of weeks would be fine :)

Thanks

Chris,


I unplugged the yellow wire, and connected the positive lead of the multimeter to the yellow wire, and grounded out the neg of the multimeter. The car was not running, just with the ignition on.
I was a little weirded out by the results. It sort of ranged between 6.8V and 3.4 it would float up and down and up and down. (must be something in the fuel gauge?)

Does this help you?

Thanks mate.. it all helps a bit :)

By the looks of those results, you might be replacing the electro-mechanical regulator soon as well ;) I will post a write up when I do it.

Hey Chris,

Did you ever post up your replacement of the electro-mechanical to full electronic version of the regulator?
