Hey guys! I have a question about an issue I came across. When dropping my tanks I clipped the sender wires at the plug along the rail.
Now the entire fuel system is re-lined, two vent lines instead of a shared
vent line, vent t up high under the drivers seat.
My issue is this-when I looked closely at the plug, it seems that the wires are swapped going into the plug and coming out of the plug.
What I mean is, tan wire coming from tank goes into plug at one terminal, (female), on the matching terminal (male) it is tan with white stripe.
Since there is only one way to plug in this plug...I'm at a loss.
I don't plan on re using the plug, because I can't get consistent reading through it, due to corrosion. My question is, do I follow the tan to tan, tan with white stripe to tan with white stripe, or do I swap them as it was wired?
I suppose I could follow the wiring all the way to the switch, but I really don't want to do that If it's not going to make too much difference.
Am I correct that this will in effect swap tanks on my switch, or should I assume a mistake by the installer?
