Curt B. 'Bolter C Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 Edmonton,Alberta,Canada	When I installed my new harness I had the same symptoms. I had wired my gas gauge to the wrong terminal on the ignition switch and the gauge was always on. Turn the key on and off while watching the gauge. Needle should jump with power.
