    Hey Guys. I feel like i've been posting a ton lately about my Tacoma but you all are awesome help and I don't like going anywhere else so, tell me what you think about this:

    I replaced my Fuel Pump and everything went in fine and the truck runs great but the only thing that isn't working is the Fuel Gauge... It's at Empty with the light on even though I have a full tank of gas. I did disconnect the battery when I replaced the fuel pump but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

    Any Ideas of what I need to do to get this fixed. Normally someone would just ignore it and track their miles to know when they fill up but, unfortunately I am very OCD about it and want it fixed badly.

    Any suggestions help. Thanks guys!

    Stupid question, did you reconnect the wire? While I have never pulled my Tacoma fuel tank, typically there is a single wire that connects on top of the plate that has the fuel pump and fuel lines coming out of it. That is the terminal connected to the resistor on the float wiper arm.

    I know I reconnected the wires. However, I might go back and check to see if they connected properly..
