I have no idea what happened except that I installed a fuel pump and then the guage stopped responding, has this happened to any one before or have ideas on what next to do?
 
cheak to see if your float is stuck - mine was. Just pull the pump real fast again - check the float see if it moves correctly then put it back together and see if it works. I'm doing the same to mine right now after my 6 bolt build.
 
The same thing happen to me when I did my install you just have to pull the pump and make sure everything is aligned correctly I put the floater in wrong and that was what fixed my problem so I dont see why it cant fix yours.
 
Yup, make sure the floater isn't blocked.

Mine quit responding. It hand around 1/2 forever and then drops to empty. No idea why.

What if it reads right, but your stupid low fuel light is on 60 percent of the tank.

well then you have a short to ground somewhere close to the sender unit
