So that connector at the bottom gets alot of abuse from everthing and I am surprised that it don't fail in 5 years let alone 21 years.

Thanks Ron! You pointed me in the right direction and told me the just the right info to figure it out. You get the gold star this week.

I found the connector that you are referring to. There are a lot of wires going into it. Can you be more clear on what you did? Seems like around 20 wires in that thing. Where did you splice in? It says 3" up into the cab. What does this mean? Did you just rebolt the connector to the bottom? Or do you mean that you grounded it?

Fuel pump stuck on full

What wire did you splice into color please spent 180 on autometer fuel gauge seems like it was working and now reads past full also hahahah so seems like I have a short some where
wires I hooked it up to were in the chassis on the bottom of the drivers seat yellow/white and orange I’m still not clear what color the ground wire for the sending unit is since I have a 92 ranger
