Fuel gauge problems
OK guys first I consider myself to be a good wrench but this one has got me and my dealer. well about a month ago my fuel gauge stopped working on my fuel injected 2006 street glide. I swapped out the gauge with a new one and it still didn't work well my bike is still under extended warranty so I took it to the dealer they replaced the wiring harnessed because it showed signs of rubbing and some bare wires that still didn't fix the gauge today the dealer swapped the fuel sending unit and it still didn't fix the gauge! We are at a loss at what it could be. Here is what its doing the gauge is always on full, when you fill the tank up the low fuel light comes on and stays on till you run about a gal out of it, getting two code when you sweep the system first b1004 (fuel sending unit reading low) second code b1005 (fuel sending unit reading high) Does anyone have a clue to what could cause this?

Have your dealer pull the Electrical Diagnostic Manual for 2006 Touring Models; open to Sec. 2.6; and, read the diagnostics for a faulty gauge--if he hasn't done so already (which he may have since there is a reference to ohm readings in your latest post).
Regret that I can't supply a better answer. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Picked this info from the electrical manual:
All you need is a multimeter
The fuel gauge is connected to +12 Volts, the float in the sending unit moves a variable resistor ranging between ground and +12 Volts.
The fuel gauge reads a voltage, so you should have a ground problem between the gauge and frame/harness.
Try measuring the sender alone, then where it connects to the gauge. The sender wire is the brown/green (BN/GN), the +12V is the orange (O)
