I went to harley yesterday and they told me it was the fuel sender high but not sure if its a fault in the part or in the wires but I want to repair it
machine has a fuel gauge?
check grounds first
check resistor bank if it has one
check harness connections
could be a bad fuel gauge or sending unit inside the tank.
symptoms sometimes are better than a code so what is happening.
if it is a circuit high, i would think the opposite. the ecu in order not to burn itself out, supplies a limited current through a load resistor and monitors the drop. if you have a short, the drop across the resistor is higher so the ecu sees a low and if the circuit is open or there is a high resistance downstream, the drop is not that much and the ecu sees a high.
kiss it, grounds and connections first, then components.
