Edited: another fuel/temp gauge thread, but turns out the harness is melted together

Volt ohm meter to temp sender wire to ground. At the sender end. Should see approximately 5 volts dc fluctuating. Digital meter may not pick it up. If that’s good try a temporary ground to metal part of instrument cluster. I’d personally try the ground anyway.
