Ok
Here is the latest
I removed the cluster from the dash. Thinking the needle was stuck I freed it up by hand. Placed the needle by hand at 1/2.
Placed the power it its post and Touched the sender wire to its post. The needle was driven to E.
I placed the needle back to 1/2 by hand . Placed the power to its post then ran a ground wire to the gauge sender post. The needle was driven to E again.
This was with the cluster just sitting on the bench seat.
Is this telling me anything?
The cluster is stamped 12v on the back.
The power is going to the post behind the E mark, and the sender is going to the post behind the F.
Again Thank you for all the suggestions.
