[DML] Fuel gauge problem continued

["bluemax86" <bluemax86@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those that are following my little issue here is a follow up.

Thanks to Dave Delman for providing me with a semi-schematic and 
info. I now know how the fuel gauge is wired up. After connecting my 
multimeter to the correct lugs I found the following:

The hot wire (green I believe) shows 11 volts.
The fuel sensor wire (GB=green with black) shows 7.24 volts.
When I connect the GB wire to the ground wire the gauge goes slowly 
to zero.
When I connect the GB wire to the hot wire it goes past vertical to 
around the 10 o'clock position.

This would indicate that my connections are OK but the reading is way 
off. Which would mean that the needle must have moved somehow, but I 
can't see how as I never touch it and made sure it never got moved.

Thanks to all those who have helped so far. If anyone else has any 
suggestions I would welcome them.
