Van selector valve fuse?
I have an '88 e250 with dual tanks. Gauges and valve working fine until when I was driving today. I flipped the switch from the front to the rear tanks and the gauge went all the way empty (tank was 100% full) and the valve didn't switch. Flipped the switch back to the front tank and nothing. No gauge movement at all. I pulled the switch and checked it for continuity. It appears to be switching correctly and I have voltage to the switch. I pulled the plug at the selector valve and am not getting any voltage to it. I am going to get some smaller wire to insure I am making a connections with the contacts in the plug just to make sure I am reading accurately. Does anyone know which fuse is for the gauge/selector valve in the van? I see on listed on the F-Series fuse panel, but not in the E-Series. Is it located somewhere else? I am going to start pulling and testing fuses, but didn't know id anyone knew.
Do the valves just go completely dead all of a sudden? I find it weird that both the gauge and valves stopped immediately when I flipped the switch and now nothing is working on either tank.

So I got a small wire to make sure I had contact. I am getting 12 volts to the valve plug. It switches which wire it comes in on when I flip from the rear to the front tank. So does this mean my valve is bad? I didn't see one on Rock Auto and the AZ one isn't a direct replacement. I just find it weird that it was perfect, I flipped the switch and now it's dead...gauges and all. Any thoughts?
