Fuel Gauge doesnt work after DS1
 
After installing my Drawstraw 1 my fuel gauge doesn't work now. I started my truck and the gauge was way below E and the fuel light came on. After going going up my driveway it went clear to full and the fuel light went off. Before installing my straw i had approx 1/4 tank. The float was not damaged. I did unplug the wire down on the fuel module and then put the red wire on the bottom ear and the blue on the top ear after putting it back together. I drove 10 miles with the gauge not working and then put $20 in it. Light and gauge still didnt work. I drove around town then on the way back home my fuel light went on and now the gauge line is up to 1/8 tank, but I should have more than that especially after putting $20 in it. When I unplugged the wire harness to the fuel module I didnt unplug the batteries. What is causing this problem? I put the module the same way it came out because I kept the electrical part turned to the filler neck side and that's how I put it back in. The gauge was working fine until this install.

did you put the basket in the exact same way and orientation? I'm betting the float is hitting the side of the tank

If I pulled the module out with the the electrical connector up there point to the drivers side of the truck and when i put it back in I had the elextrical part point to the drivers side again then wouldnt that be going back in the same way or am I missing something? When the guage goes up to full or whatever spot I can literally watch it slowly go down to E within seconds or around 1/8- 1/4 sometimes it wont stop there and go clear to E and below. When i shake the heck out of the truck it will jump it up and down
