More than likely you'll need to drop the tank. I think you pinched the wiring.

If you are capable of reaching up and disconnecting the harness from the fuel tank, then disconnect it, and cut the 2 smaller wires. You should only have 4. 2 heavy gauge wires for the pump and 2 smaller ones for the sending unit.

took a wire and put it on each end of the harness and connector and figured out which wire was the fuel gage. (Black and pink) Cut that wire now my Dash works and the body ignition fuse stoped blowing. Ganna put a new float in next season. Thankyou for everyones comments.
