fuel level sending unit

[MDMoparDude]

The wire that leads to my sending unit was discoonected when i bought it.  when i tryed to put it on, it seems that it will not slide over the post.  It is getting caught on a rubber grommet on the outside of the post.  Is it the wrong sending unit, or can i cut the grommet off?

It should be like a black plastic stand with a threaded stem sticking up, then your wire is a female receptor with a rubber shield enclosed around it. Is it hard and brittle?

hard as a rock........  should i cut it off and get a new connector?  Where can i purchase one....

The same thing happens to the neutral safety switch too. I try to heat up the rubber with my lighter untill it is soft, then I push it on. It doesnt melt/stick to the sender just reforms itself. Not sure where to get a new one.

Moparal,

Your a genius, if you ever make it up to Carlilse, or DC area, I owe you a beer.  You just saved me money/blowing myself up......  Thank you

Oh. I forgot to tell you to heat it up while you had it away from the tank   But I know yer kidding.  Glad it worked

I was too much of a sissy to use a lighter that close to the tank, used a heat gun instead...............  didn't want a darwin award...............
