Look at the attached pic. You can see how each end of both coils are connected to 12 volts. The one on the left is already grounded. The right one is attached to the sender which varies the resistance from 0-90 ohms. 0 ohms being "ground."
Great! Thanks. I'll try it tonight and see if my gauge goes to Empty.
