Fuel sending unit

OK so I have a 96 s14 bone stock and my gas gage doesn't work so I pulled out my sending unit and found the black resistor looking thing solder had broke front the other resistor so I soldered it back on plugged it all back in and the gas gauge still sit's below E so I pulled it back out and check ohms and all is in spec

So what can I check next I'm going to try and upload a pic of the sending unit so yall can tell if I soldered it right

Have you checked continuity between the fuel sender and gauge?

Thank you agamemnon I made a bypass wire and as soon as I put the sending unit in the tank and hooked that wire up my low fuel light came on and the gauge started rising so now I will make a permanent wire

Don't do that. Check your harness connections. If your fuel sender signal is broken, chances are something else is as well.

And I figured out the only thing that the bypass wire fixed was my low fuel light
