Thank you.

You need to measure the Ω on the sender unit as you change the wiper.

The car uses a buffered signal for the gauge so the needle doesn't bounce around like a lawn mower gauge.

If your needle is stuck at a quarter and there is no gas then your wiper needs attention I wrote a DIY repair for that.

If you have gas on the left but none on the right the siphon jet isn't working usually from the faulty designed o-ring seal.
