Fuel Gauge Issues
Well, the gauge is now working. I decided to get the meter match and it fixed the problem, but because of my luck whenever working with electrical something happened and it burned up one of the traces on the board.
I used a leg off of a resistor I had laying around from testing and used that as a jumper between the two points where the trace had burned away. Even though the power side of the board is now working the sender side of it is broken, so I had an idea of just tieing the output and input back together and to just use the board as an 8v power supply to the gauge and boom now it works perfectly.
So Redfish is right and It was the new mechanical voltage limiter. The Meter-Match board is now acting as a solid state limiter putting out a steady +8V and the gauge works perfectly. Even though the board is partially broken it still works as a limiter, so I'm going to keep it there. The biggest thing from this it that I bought a brand new voltage limiter from classic industries and it doesn't work, I wonder how many people this has affected, and if I had just received a correctly working part this problem would have been solved weeks ago.
