Installing a Glow Shift fuel gauge into my 95 Ranger 4.0. Does anyone know what wire on the instrument cluster to tap into for the gauge to read. I know it is not a bad fuel sender because entire dash cluster went out. I already replaced tach, water temp, oil pressure gauges. The info I have says black wire with red tracer. Please someone help me out, this is all thats holding up the installation. Please tell me that I need to run a single wire all the way back to read out of fuel tank, I understand that the gauge will move with vehicle because slosh gauge is being by passed, but I just really need to know how much fuel is in the tank. I also know that the ohms on the new gauge are not 100 percent correct to be used with tank, so it will be a little off. But I am tired of running out of gas.
 
on my 98 b2300 that had a bad gauge, i just filled up every 200 miles.

after a year or two, i finally lifted the bed and pulled out the assembly and put a new float on it so it would read. that was my problem, bad float
 
1995 Ranger has a yellow/white stripe wire that ran from the gas tank to the back of the cluster

Its on Pin 1 of the 12 pin connector on the back of the cluster

In 1995 Ford Sender/float used
16 ohms EMPTY
158 ohms FULL

According to Glowshift instructions they have a setting on the back of the Gauge for 16/158, #2 setting
So should be accurate

Are you sure, because in another forum on here it said 10-160?
 
16 to 158 ohms, 1989 and up Fords
16 to 160 would be fine, so may be a typo on the 10
