Well there's the obvious, did you check the fuse? If so, I think you might need a new sensor I've had these little buggers short out on me over practically nothing and to change it (unless you have an access hatch in your trunk) you're gonna need to drop your gas tank and its wrapped around your fuel pump.

It sounds like you do not have a good ground connection between the fuel pump (possibly mounted inside the fuel tank) and the chassis/neg side of the battery. This is sometimes caused by rust on mounts etc. I would try test connecting a wire from the negative/chassis side of the battery directly to the fuel pump chassis/mount. Good luck!

2007 F350 4x4 regular cab V10 gas guage quit working I had the sending unit and fuel pump changed the fuel guage went to 1/4 and sat there. Any tips? Fuel guage wont work.

I'm assuming this has dual tanks, do you know if it is not working on both tanks ?
Most people would check the circuit for the gauge at the tank. The sending unit grounds the gauge on the dash.

GAS GAGE WANT STOP READING EMPTY WHEN GAS IS IN IT

To confirm if the fault is with the Rheostat float within the fuel tank or the fuel guage in the dashbboard, you can remove the wiring to the fuel tank float. If the guage reading changes- to full- then the guage is good and the fault can be a jammed rheostat which can be removed from the tank and replaced after draining the tank. The guage can be tested on the outside with a ground wiring to the plate of the fittings and as the float is moved the guage must show a change in reading. if not the voltage must be measured to confirm the working of the guage.
