Does anyone have a photo of the other end of the wires? My fuel sender is wired, but two of the four wires at the other end are not connected to anything. Does one plug directly into the + cable? I have a spot there that is missing a wire.
Thanks!

Could you explain what you mean by the 'other end', and the 'four wires' or post a photo? The gauge wires go into the instrument pack via two large black oblong plugs with copper connectors, and thence to the instruments.

I don't understand either. The sender should have 3 wires: one to ground, one to the low fuel warning light, and one to the fuel gauge itself. That wiring (except the ground wire) runs forward to a connector in the console and from there to the connector at the instrument cluster

Cheers
