95 Yj 4.0. New to me, previous owner moved the stock tank to the back, after moving the back axle back. I replaced with a motobilt 17 Gal cell and plumbed it all. Old pump was shot, replaced it, reconditioned the sending unit cleaned all grounds etc. When I put connector back together if i connect the wire going to the fuel gauge the whole pump is dead. Pull the wire (solid blue) out of the body side of the connector (leaving the positive..green/blk runner and ground..blk/red runner) fires up first turn. I really want a working fuel gauge..Any help would be so so appreciated. Pulled the gauge cluster out , cleaned the connections there, no help.
 
Thanks all for the time, I went ahead and ordered the full sending unit, fixed all my issues, working pump, gauge and wired plumbed. All set now to the radiator, brakes and gear set. Any ideas on what might be my best final ratio for road/trail.. thinking 3.73..
