Thanks, but I got those from the factory service manual. The Cherokee gauges use three wires: 12v hot, ground, & "signal" (wire with a varied resistance to ground), and apparently the "signal" is connected to the float's varible resistor in a fashion that as the float rises in the tank, it is moving the resistor farther from the grounded end thus placeing more resistance between the input from the gauge and ground.
It is entirely possible that BakedAlaskan's gauges work differently. I was just giving some info and an example of a way to determine the resistance needed to make the gauge show full
Sorry for boring you, sound like your gauges work differently...
