Wema fuel level sender trouble
Which color is the ground and which color is signal on a Wema Fuel level sender? I found this on the internet. Is it right?????Does it mean that the pink on the sender should be hooked up to black in the boat (Baja) and black on the sender should be hooked up to pink in the boat???
PROPER WIRING INSTALLATION:
• Connect ground (pink) wire from the WEMA sending unit into a common grounding hook-up.
• Connect (black) wire from the WEMA sending unit to a gauge hook-up. If your gauge has color coded hook-ups, maintain this coding as you connect the sender and ground wires.
WARNING!! GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. KEEP TANK AREA FREE

this is the last sentence in the instructions you found on the net.
It makes more sense to me than the other way. I think I would go that way.

Well, the guage in itself does not have any colors. However, at the guage the ground post is hooked up to a black lead and the signal post is hooked up to a pink lead. To me it seems crazy that Wema uses colorcoding that is the opposite of the rest of the boating industry. Or am I missing something???
