Gas gauge issue

[Jeepwm69]

Looked at the gas gauge issue today. I found a ground wire on the frame, and when I pulled on it it was broken somewhere up above the tank. I found a loose end coming out of a loom right around the sending unit and hooked the ground up to that wire and now when I turn the key on the gauge goes all the way to E. Did I hook the ground wire to the sending wire? Not sure how they got broken, but apparently they are. Looks like to fix it I can either drop the tank or take off the bed......

The ground runs from the sender to the frame rail. The + lead rund from the loom (sounds like what you found) to a "post" on top of the sender right next to the fuel line.

Thanks, can't even see the sender, so going to have to drop the tank to be able to hook things back up the right way.
