Default Gas gauge doesn't work

I assumed it was the fuel pump unit so I replaced it with a known working one. After installing gas gauge still is registering empty when there's half a tank.

Are there any relays or fuses I should be checking? Could there be a bad connection anybody have any experience with this?

Thanks, All the wires/connectors adjacent look good. Time to start fishing.
