When the vehicle is turned on, the needle slams all the way to the right and they goes into the ocillating mode. Does this sound like the gauge itself or the sending unit which is on the fuel pump I recently replaced? Grounding issue? Thanks.
.

I would start with the plug in connector at the tank.
make sure the (terminal) is clean. inside ond out.
Ground very well could be the issue and If I am not mistaken, there is a ground wire right in that clusters plug.
If not, You should have seen it when you did the pump.
