Fuel Gauge Wiring Trouble!

[puffm]

Hey guys, when I got my chassis re-sprayed they guy unplugged some wires, so long story short I have a couple of wires where I can not find for the life of me where they plug in to, there are two separate wires, and the fuel gauge isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I find it helpful to know how much fuel I have.

The fuel gauge is on top of the tank. There is a Black (ground) wire and a Yellow (sender) wire.

There is also a plug under the passenger seat.

I assume it's only the gauge that isn't working.

Maybe.I had a temp/fuel gauge issue.Relaced the temp gauge and it worked.But the Fuel gauge was still dead.Started tracing and when I "un-bent" where the harness exits the cab floor,the gauge came to life.

Ill have a look, the cables dont seem long enough to reach inside the cab, Ill have to try and look ontop of the fuel tank. It is just the fuel gauge that isnt working, everything else is fine. If I cant find where it plugs into by tomorrow I will post a picture of where Im at with everything which may help.

 

Cheers guys, really appreciate the help

THe plug I'm talking about is on the harness that comes from the dash and exits the cab and feeds the bed of the truck.Which means brake & running lights,turn signals and fuel sender.

It's a 10 pin plastic connector and located under the passenger seat below the left knee. The connector is inside the cab on the floor and there is a rubber plug on the harness that runs along the frame to the gas tank and the rear lights that seals the hole in the cab floor.

One Yellow and One Black
These are the only cables unpluged, the harness at the rear is all connected along with the cables within the cab...

Those should connect to the sender located on the top of the fuel tank.

Perfect!!! Those plastic connectors (slots to the bottom) just push onto those two posts. (be sure they are clean bare mettal) The one on the left looks like it's for the Yellow power wire, right the ground.

Mine needed a good cleaning....I was going nuts getting ready to replace the regulator because the temp gauge quit too...cleaned both contacts on the tank and the temp sender...Joy!
