Use flat connector, plugged in, backprobing with key ON.

Backprobe A and B to get input voltage. Make the calculation .17 X Input voltage to come up with what your output voltage should be with the probes in B and C.

Take a deep breath. Touch the probes to your battery and make sure the meter's battery isn't dead. Meter set on the 20 volt DC scale, just like you'd use to test the TPS.

I need opinions.... Mount my intersection lights on the bottom of the front quarter panel In front of the tire or on the brush guard? I'm leaning towards to quarter panel because the whole front bumper and guard is coming off in about a month anyways.

They're warning lights/strobe lights. I already have the flash pattern set so I am able to go from flash to constant on so they will double as area lighting. They are intersection lights but I don't use the vehicle for code 3 responses (int. sec. Is just the name of the lights because they are being mounted up front facing laterally outward lol). The lights are just to be used as side warnings since I don't have a reason to clear intersections.

Yes the entire sending unit was a brand new airtex set up. I had at least 1/4-1/2 a tank of gas. I was worried about putting more gas in if I'm going to have to pull the pump. I may just replace the entire thing but I want a whole new sending unit not just the pump. Where's the best place to go.
