you could have a loose connection to the back of the instrument cluster.

Did you touch the gauge needle with your hands? If you did, you probably fucked it up. Been there done that.Comment

locate the ground and signal wires at the sending unit. cross them 2 wires. if the gauge and wiring is good, the fuel gauge should read full.

The reason it makes a difference is not only is it a low fuel light module, it is also an anti-slosh module, so that the gauge doesn't move all over the place when you drive like I do, or like on a Chevy.
Looking at your diagram it doesn't look like it controls the voltage regulator for the instrument cluster, but it just hooks to it. Either way, if it shit the bed it could make the fuel gauge not work.91 Mercury CP, Lopo 302, AOD, 3.08LSD. 3g upgrade, Moog wagon coils up front, cc819s in the back. KYB GR-2 police shocks.
