Re: Fuel Tank
There should be a single Tan wire connected to a small post beside were your sender unit enters the tank this wire then runs to the across the top of the tank down by the drivers door and along the floor under the door sill plate and into the fuse panel were it says fuel gauge. Assuming that you have a printed circuit on the back of your instument panel and all your gauges are fitted and connected by the harness plug then you should get a reading when you turn your ignition on.

Re: Fuel Tank
Eightbanger, I've got a blazer tank which is located in the rear of the truck and it's grounded to the frame. In Razr's, for a tank behind the seat, doesn't it also require a grounded?

Re: Fuel Tank
