Any help guys, what else can i do?

These should be what you will see. The one with a single wire isnt a sensor, its the sending unit for the gauge.
Remove the connector, turn the key forward without starting it, and ground out the wire. If the needle in the gauge moves the wiring and gauge are good and the sender is bad or the threads arent making good contact to metal.
If that proves to be true you could remove sender, clean the threaded area with a wire brush and reinstall and test.. if it still fails.., R&R the sender
