    Default M60 Fuel Level Sensor

    Hello All,
    I've got a curious problem. M60 won't start. Can't hear the fuel pump running. I've got power to the fuel pump connector, and I took the pump out and ran it off a battery (it runs). Here comes the curious part: I checked for continuity across the connector going into the tank (part of the level sensor) and found both contacts on the bottom (in-tank side) connecting to the same pin on the top of the connector (which I think is +12). What do ya 'spose would cause something like that?

    Needless to say, the pump doesn't run with +12 to both sides of it. Is there more going on inside that connector that I don't know about? The wiring diagrams show a straight-up connector, i.e. no switching or anything.

    Thoughts?

    EDIT: I should mention that the rest of the level sensor appears to work properly. No evidence of any damage.
