Stupid question, and possibly not even in the right place, but here goes. '98 Chevy K1500, silverado trim, Z71 package. It has the seperate CD player below the heater controls. Said CD player worked in July before I did the engine swap. It doesn't work now. it will take a Cd, and you can hear it spin, but it doesn't read. It just throws up an error message on the radio and spits it out. Any one have any ideas what may cause this?
Thanks.
amp will be placed under the rear seat. haven't decided on driver/passenger side yet, though.Where is your amp placed? Mine is right behind the driver seat with the wire run under the driver side door sill. I don't think I used anymore than like 15 feet of wire.
So after seeing the thread about the hummingbird fuel gauge fix I decided to try and fix my fuel gauge. It reads 1/4 over full when it's first filled, and sometimes (not when full) it will sporadically jump around anywhere from 1/4 to past full, otherwise it stays on full. I think it may be the sending unit but I would like to confirm that. From what I've been able to find (I have a 98 K1500 350) the sending unit is supposed to read 0-90 Ohms and it is the thinner ground wire and a purple wire (I'm guessing the purple one is the second from the left since that's beside the thinner ground wire), a shorted wire would always read empty and a broken wire/circuit being infinite Ohms would read over full.
So this is my stupid question, can you test the sending unit without dropping the tank? I tried sticking my multi-meter needles into where the wires meet the plug but didn't have any luck. Is there somewhere under the hood I can test (had a hard time following the wires), or should I try unplugging it maybe? If it is the sending unit I won't bother replacing it until my pump goes again so I'm not going to drop the tank out, but I'd like to confirm that so I'm not driving around with an unreliable fuel gauge that could have been easily fix due to some other reason.
Thanks.
