Hi,
Try connecting a test light in series with the fuel sender. It should blink with the key on. If it doesn't, then the IVR (Instrument Voltage Regulator) is faulty. It should be on the back of your instrument cluster. IIRC, it's a small "box" maybe 1/2' by 1" with 2 studs. If you need more help, let me know and I'll check the shop manual.

It could also mean the either the Gauges or Sending units have gone bad or you've developed a Short in your wiring harness.
