That's what I was thinking, just needed to confirm. I didn't want to replace the sending unit if I didn't have to, because I can't find one that uses the same resistance as the one I have and It's going to throw off my gauge.
Thanks!!

I pulled my fuel level sender unit on my B310 because my gauge wasn't working, to find that the small wire was broken. (PIC ATTACHED)
My question is, can I replace this small length of wire with any size wire, or does it have to be the exact size wire? I don't wanna risk blowing anything up.
I've pulled everything possible. All fuses disconnected and such.
I had the alternator tested and when I pulled it I found a sticker indicating it had been replaced prior to me buying the car. Autozone ran it on their machine and the diode test came back OK, which is what I thought it might be in the first place.
The drain is approximately 8.8ma
So I've been chasing this phantom electrical drain in my B310.
To start, I pulled all the fuses and still had the drain. I disconnected the signal wire from the back of the alternator and the drain ceased. I pulled the alternator and too it to autozone to have it tested and it came back 100%.
I didn't find any short on the harness anywhere. If it stays hooked up, I come back out in the morning and the batteries dead.
Any ideas?
