Gas guage not working after rectronix install
Okay, i got a racetronix pump and it didnt come withthe 2 wires and plug so i just used my own wires and connected it from the stock plug to the fuel pump and it works, but the problem is my fuel guage isnt working
I tried touching the two purple ends to every possible combonation on the plug that goes to the fuel pump. what i mean is i took two wires, attached them to the two purple wires that come from the leveling unit, and touched the two wires to the plug that plugs into the fuel pump, the one on top of the tank/pump, the plug outside of the fuel tank. And i cannot get the gas guage to move. Does it need a power and a ground to work? I just cannot figure this out and it is frustrating as hell. The two little metal pieces that run along the metal strip that tell your gas level are still there and still in contact with the metal strip. I AM SO FRUSTRATED argghhhh
Can someone please please please please HELP ME?!??

but my kit i bought used didnt come with that connector, so i cut the wifes off my old pump and put plugs on those wires and plugged it into the racetronix pump.
But i didnt realize i was missing a connector so i removed the purple wires and then i realized it.
But i even tried touching the purple wires to where they would plug in at and nothing happened. I had the pump out and i was moving the float/arm around and it wasnt changing the gas guage. Im completely stumpped im about to buy another complete unit and swap it in, screw this.
Thanks guys!
