At the bottom of the main forum page is a link to Mitchell1. Go to wiring diagrams and find th esender wire. Test with an Ohm meter for continuity, there might be a break in the wire

I'm far from a wiring pro, and Jack probably has the right answer, but I have received bad sending units that did that.
