My truck has a switch on the dash, too. As I understand, the floor switch is just for the plumbing of the fuel system, and the dash switch is just connecting the fuel senders to the dash gauge.

ok so went back to my truck and followed the wire that came from my fuel tank too the dash.from the picture you can see, the arrow without txt from what i was able to follow is the same wire from the fuel tank after it goes through elctrical tape.

however it is cut here.

now what i am wondering now is the green/yellow wires are supposed to be fuse to courtesy lamp switch, what would happen if i was to connect the cut wire with the two green/yellow to single red wire? dont want to melt or start a fire

UPDATE the wire that is cut that i thought was from the fuel tank actually goes outside.....
