Op gauge worked then didn't

[binger59]

I purchased the VC kit and I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with there gauge? I got it All hooked up and took her for a drive. Pressure was about 60psi cold with 20-50 and about 20 after Brief warm up then I parked her. I went to work the next day on way to work everything is ok I get halfway and glance down the needle below is zero. I had no issues prior to install no flickering light at idle and surprisingly no drips and minamal usage. Idiot light is a blaze I tried new ground connections behind fuse and nothing. When I start van needle just makes it to zero. Next I'm going to change idiot wire recheck sender wire and if I have too put the .3 bar switch back in. Could the sender be bad or plugged? Is this a. Common sender I can get at a flaps? I was just wondering if anyone else had issues? I drove
It cross country last August and not once had the light come on. The reason I got the gauge in the first place is the wire coroded and the light slowely came on. Any help or guidence would be great.

Did you use teflon tape on the sender hose fitting? Take it off if you did.

Dry. Sender must ground thru that connection.
