 I have a 2005 320 FV and last week my starboard side fuel guage stopped working . It is pegged to  E and doesn't move. I have plenty of fuel , Last weekend I removed the refridge and found the pink ground on top of the tank , removed nuts and cleaned and replaced . still nothing . I removed the dash and disconected the clip it looked fine so I put back together , still nothing . Any suggestions ?

If you put (short) the 2 wires at the sender together and the guage goes to full, your sender is at fault.

Yup, thats what happened to me this year.  Checked it by touching the pink wire to a ground and the fuel guage pegged.  This was after many hours of tracing wires and checking for shorts.  Once I found out how to check it from the RBO site it took me 15 minutes to replace the sending unit.  Been working fine since...Knock on wood.
