<< The hot side has a steel rivet through the cap from the brass male
connector end that squeezes a brass washer that connects to the
resistance wire and underneath that is a steel washer. There is no
electrical connection between the male connector and the brass
washer currently as there should be or between any of the pieces
of this stack of components.
If I solder the steel rivet end to the brass washer and the other
end of the steel rivet to the brass male connector all should be
well on that end. Confirmation? Different ideas? >>
On mine, I wedged some brass shim stock between the steel washer and the
brass male connector (to tighten the connection). I've fixed a couple of them this
way. Afterward I used my ohm meter to verify continuity, along with checking
the sender (flipped it upside down to read full, then right side up for
empty). This might be an easier way to fix this, but be careful of the thin wires,
as those read the fuel level. I hope this helps.
