Default Fuel Gauge Question

Hi, I was installing a power antennae when I noticed that when I turn on my headlamps, my fuel gauge would move pass full. When I close my headlamps, the fuel gauge returns to normal. Any suggestions at what happened.

Can it be the ground wire? I think I did not reconnect it after installing the antennae.

Sounds like a ground problem. When the gauge goes past full, it indicates an open circuit in the fuel sending wiring. Something's gotten crossed up somewhere.

Electrical problems suck.....
