1) Disconnect the wiring harness from the sending unit; with the key in ACC or RUN, ground out the wire that is for the gauge (not one of the two for the pump) and the gauge should swing to FULL - it should swing back and forth as the wire is grounded/ungrounded. If that test passes, the dash gauge & wiring are OK (dual-tank switch by the HVAC panel in the correct position?) and the problem is in the device in the tank.

2) It is really hard to read run-on sentences, please proof-read your posts before submitting them, OK? Thanks.
