Hey there everyone, new here and this is my first post so bear with me.
We have a customer at work, he owns a 2016 chaparral 270 signature. Ever since he took delivery of the boat his fuel gauge never worked. The boat has one fuel tank. Over gone through the steps for calibration using the gauge, and everytime it says failed after agreeing to go forward with the calibration because it's not at an appropriate level ( fuel sender resistance wise) I hook up a brand new sender outside the tank and attempt to calibrate it ( since the fuel sender cant be removed completely due to location), and still no luck.
Well I come to find out this isnt the Volvo specific sender, so it ranges from 35-240 ohms. I have a brand new Volvo sender and see that it runs from 7-180 ohms. So I'm assuming this is where my problem lies, or am I wrong?
Also I have the vodia tool. Is there anyway for me to use the vodia to tell the evc system to accept this type of send that doesnt go down to 7 ohms? The problem is, if I have to swap this sender out I'm going to have to cut a 4" pie plate access hole to remove and install the new sender....and it would be in a really bad location.
Sorry for the long post but any help is appreciated
