Topic: Fuel and volt gauge wiring

How do these wire up ? For the fuel gauge is the pink the sender and the tan the ground ? I've heard other wise but it doesn't make sense. For the volt gauge I just plain don't know what the orange and black(Iam guessing ground) do

Not really following the questions, but yes black is ground and orange is live feed, the cluster also grounded by the terminal for black wire.

Okay thanks. What about the fuel gauge. It doesn't have a black wire it has a pink and a tan wire. Which ones ground?

[Wallington]

I don't think either is, the sender is grounded through the tail panel and the volt gauge already grounds the cluster which they are insulated from. What are you trying to figure out, or just curious?

okay so my new kwik wire harness has only a pink wire that connects to the sender on the gas tank and runs back to the gauge, so obviously i connect the pink wire on the harness to the pink wire on the gauge right? so do i also connect the pink to the tan wire too? what do i do about that ?

No idea about that harness.

The pink wire on the IP harness is 12v power.  The tan wire is the sender wire.  The wire from the sender starts tan at the sender then changes to pink at the trunk connection and then back to tan at the IP harness.
