It's just me not being sure I understand your test. I can only understand your specific issue by asking questions, don't take offense. I understand wiring pretty well.

1. I assume we are taking about the gauge and the sender, so what connectors are "The connectors" ? Actual connectors or crimp terminals or other? On what?
2. "I now have 12V going across the terminals with key on". What terminals? on what?
3. What meter are you using for testing voltages? Multimeter or a light?
4. Needle went above full. Then Needle disappeared....disappeared above full or below empty?
5. I know you know this, but to be sure...the 12V power goes to the gauge terminal on the E side if gauge.

Thanks
