So since my fuel gauge is fried, I went and bough a new one tonight. Only issue is that, for the life of me, I can NOT find a wiring diagram for my car anywhere that includes the fuel gauge sensor sender wire. All I need is the color and approximate location of the wire. 82 Z28 automatic transmission.

Looks like a pink wire, Idk about that old of a car but i believe the cluster still has the 2 plugs in the dash where it slides into the pcb, you can find it there

 

So I got it hooked up, but when I turn my car on, it sinks my gauge past full like too much power is being put to it. Ideas?

 

what ohm range is the new gauge?

 

Full deflection on the gauge indicates a break in the circuit, i.e. disconnected pink wire.

 

I've always had an issue where a full tank always went way pass full, I just figured my tank sensor was out of range
