Default Fuel gage not working- HELP!

So I replaced my fuel tank; all new internals, everything seems to be connected correctly but I am getting nothing on either my stock fuel gauge or the one on the speedometer. I even went so far as to change the fuel sending sensor as I thought I had a bad part. At this point I am at a loss as I have checked everything...maybe I am missing something?

Help?

This is just a wild guess but after looking at my manual, could it be a fuse? Like I said, just a wild guess.

I assume you had to remove some stock connectors and the wiring from those connectors ?....if so check the pins in the connectors...one or maybe two of them may be backing out not making a good connection.
