It was an exact match to the one already in the truck which constantly flips between empty and full. I installed it turned on the ignition and fried my wiring harness from the gauge to the steering column before I realized what was happening. I need a gas gauge solution or to fix this one. I guess a wiring diagram would help. Any thoughts? The plug that fits onto this gauge is L shaped you can't plug it in wrong, unless I inverted the terminals by accident. Thanks in advance for your comments.
