Default fuel issue need help fast

OK I have a 99 camaro gauge was working fine till I got new pump. Dropped tank by lowering the exhaust. Now nothing on gauge. I checked all wires from sending unit to the connectors behind back driver seat. Also replaced gauge cluster and all gauges work. I am trying to find where wires run from backseat to cluster. If anyone can figure out what is wrong with this issue or know where wires are I am all ears. I have stripped almost everything but carpet and my buddy and I am frustrated with this. Please help.

Have you check the sending unit with an ohm meter? Maybe it got suck or a wire got knocked off during the pump install?

Everything from pump to pcm is good. I have taken dash out and found lots of loose wires that are hard to know exactly where they go. But the purple wire I know is still intact and from pump to pcm I get continuity and ground also the same. I will run a test from pcm to gauge to see if pcm is problem or wire. Also when I connect gauge it does move for test but that's it.
