More troubleshooting, I disconnected the sender wire from the back of the gauge and hocked it up to ground. Turned on the ignition and gauge went to full scale deflection, (past full). Turned off ignition, unhooked the sender wire to the ground and attached the ground wire to the sender terminal on the back of the gauge. Turned on ignition and gauge went to empty. turned off ignition disconnected the ground wire hooked up the sender wire to the sender terminal on back of gauge(as installed). Turned on ignition and it read 1/2 a tank again. Turn off ignition and it stays at 1/2 a tank. Where to from here, I'm not to sure?
