Haven't checked on the ram but standard procedure is to ground wire where it connects to the float. Gauge should move to one extreme. It means gauge and wiring is working. Next pull float & arm through the range measuring resistance. Resistance change should be smooth with no skipping. 01 FSm with wiring diagram & specifics of test is no line for free.
