Default 77 fuel gauge and lo fuel light problem

Yes another circut issue! The gas gauge reads 3/4 full and the lo fuel light is on! The light is in the tan resistance wire printed circut that leads to the tank. The tank unit has a single tan wire with 5.5 volts at terminal.There are no other wires or gas hose fittings on this tank sender,however the replacement unit shows 2 gas fittings? If i ground the gas gauge at the guage it will read empty but the lo light stays on. The tank has 1 gallon of gas at most.I know because it ran out of gas! The circut book i have does not show the lo fuel light. My vapor and return lines are on the tank bladder plate.

Willcox has very good gas gauge troubleshooting instructions on their site. Helped me to fix my gauge. Good luck, mds...
