fuel gauge question

my gauge stopped working so I checked the sending unit (it's good) swapped the gauge with a working one but it still won't work, we tested everything we could think of. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe the circut board is bad?

Try a new temporary ground at the tank itself--if that works you can then replace with a permanent one.

I had the same problem once. I drove me nuts until i found a layer of corrosion on the mating surface of one of the nuts that connect the post to the circuit board. Scraped it off and everything is happy.
