Also, when you turn the ignition on, I understand the light should come regarless of float position. I am trying to find out if it comes on as a test of the sending unit or as a test for the light????

I wonder if anyone would know how to test the gauge for proper operation using a voltmeter.

Thanks
Test for the light as far as I know. Could be wrong.
