Blank Fuel Tank Switch

I need your help, I need to know if the trucks with only one tank which have a blank tab on the cluster panel next to the headlight switch on the dash has a female end on the back of it for the tank selector pigtail to plug into. Also, is there a jumper on that female plug? I would appreciate it if someone could post a pic of the back of their blank panel. Thanks

I do not have a pic but can tell you there is no where to plug the male end of the truck pigtail because without the switch there will be no female plug.

Most trucks have the plug regardless of if it has dual tanks or not since they use the same harness. Thats why im asking

Single tank trucks must have the jumper plug plugged into the harness or the fuel pump will not work.

Thats what I am trying to ask, is the jumper a separate female plug that just snaps on or is the jumper located on the back of the blank panel?

yes, there is a blank dash trim insert for such, and for trucks with one tank there is a loopback wire that inserts into the ends of the harness (I have both in stock btw...)
