well another problem im having is that my fuel gauge isn't working, i replaced the whole gas tank, fuel pump, pump sending unit, gauge sending unit, and when i went to fill up it seemed to work then continued to show fuel, its shows passed fuel all the time, and i am not sure if its the wiring behind the dash because the other gauges work, but the dash lights currently stopped working also, so i am not sure, help would be appreciated..also wondernig if it could be the wires at that connect to the both sending units??

Did the fuel gauge always read full, or has its movement changed since you did the tank work?

Good luck.

Remember the recall for ignition switches in the mustangs. They were recalled because they would sometimes set fire to the electrial wires. I had the same problem so I replaced the ignition switch and my lighting worked again. And I replaced all the same things you did, but I had to swap my gauge cluster to get the fuel level to work.
