Default tank switch position?
Can someone tell me the default position of the fuel tank 6 port tank selector valve?
I need to unplug the wire harness to the valve but didn't know which tank it will default to if I do.

I don't think you need to worry. The repair manual says:
Removal:
Disconnect battery ground cables and remove the fuel tubes from the valve as outlined.
Remove electrical connector.
Remove the two bolts mounting the selector valve.
Installation:
Follow removal procedures in reverse order.
Tighten selector valve mounting bolts to 9-12 lb-ft

The switch reverses the polarity going to the valve and the valve is motor driven, it will remain on whatever tank it's on when you unplug it. The valve also controls which fuel level sending unit is being read, once you unplug the harness you gauge will no longer work.
