Default replaced fuel pump and cluster gauge still not working please help!

I just bought a 1990 ranger 2.3 5spd 2wd for a gas saver and my temp and gas gauge don't work.I'm more concerned about the gas gauge not working than anything. I have changed the fuel pump with a used one cleaned the electric. connecter to it also still nothing. so I bought a brand new fuel pump and changed the end connecter to it still nothing either.A friend of mine had a ranger part out he daily drove for years and never had no issues with his gauges so I bought the complete cluster off him it was a 91 2.3. and wouldn't you know it still nothing.i have had the assembly out with the key on and move the float up and down gauge don't move. I have checked all fuses which I saw none for fuel/gas gauge or anything like that and grounds and cant figure this issue out for the life of me. I see other people have the same issue but never really answered what there issues was. any help anyone has that would help me fix this would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Sounds like theres a short in the wire somewhere running from the pump. It starts and runs the gauge is just not working, right? Not sure about the 90 model but it the white wire that's runs the float/gauge. You'll just have to run the wire down from before the splice. If this helps you.

Yes it runs and drives fine just no gauge. I put a ohm meter on the yellow with white stripe that runs the float and I found the same wire on the harness to my cluster and I put the tester on continuity and it stayed beeping so I don't think there is a a short in the yellow/white wire for the float. I have made my own ground wire to the sending unit as well still nothing is there a fuse or relay for the fuel gauge there is one fuse in the engine bay for fuel pump its good and my fuel pump works good. I mean what's the chances of the original fuel assembly and the brand new one and junkyard one all 3 be bad. Lol and both clusters and he swears to have no issues with the cluster I got from him
