Stuck on front tank.

94 F350 PS Diesel

switched to the rear and nothing happens. So tonight I changed the switch, and unless i have 2 bad switches it still don't switch. Should I change the valve? Anyway to test one? I put my volt meter on the switch wires and there is a 12 volt supply to one of them so I'm assuming the problem is either wiring or valve. Does the switch or valve change the gauge? I dont think it's switching tanks either but I don't know for sure. Hopefully I have enough fuel in the front to get to a fuel station. RB

I got under it yesterday and discovered a bad wire right by the valve. I'm guessing this is the problem. RB

Gassers are different than my diesel. I have a mechanical pump on the engine whereas yours has HP pumps in the tanks. My valve is right in front of the front tank. RB

The transfer valve on a gasser is located on the drivers side frame rail under the cab or slightly aft. of the cab. There will be four gas lines coming into the back of the valve and two leading out of the front.
