Fuel level sensor plug vs. electric petcock plug

(1/3) > >>

nwguy:
I foolishly didn't identify which plug was plugged into my fuel level sensor before unplugging it when removing my tank. Is there a way to tell which is which? I seem to remember reading a thread about this but I can't find it. This is on my 1999 Bassa.

Correct plug should have the red band that matches its mate on the harness. On my '98 V11EV the red band is on the fuel petcock.

I have a manual petcock. Here's a pic of the fuel level sensor plug from the tank:






So it's likely that it's the one without the red band?

n3303j:
If in doubt put the voltmeter on the harness side plug and turn on the key. 12V is the petcock. Less is the logic circuit for fuel sensing.

Yes, you don't want to get them mixed or you could burn out the expensive Fuel Level Sensor. It will burn out if the fuel is Low
