Fuel Gauge Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I installed a blazer tank in my truck and ran a wire from the sending unit to the back of my fuel gauge and it the guage is not working.
Does that wire need to go to the fuse box first or something? Thanks

It has been mentioned in other posts...check the ground on the sending Unit.

The ground is fine.
So that wire does not have to go to the fuse box? Straight from the sending unit to the Guage?
Thanks

As far as I know, it just goes straight to the gauge. What is the gauge doing? Are you sure the sending unit is good?

Oh, BTW, nice avatar..

The sending unit is brand new. The guage is stuck in one position. Maybe I'll try messing with the ground.
Thanks.
