been in the garage for about an hour now.i think i need the sender unit on the fuel pump holder!!

i removed the fuel pump with the holder and moved the float up and down,it didnt work very well!! the only time it worked 100% is when i pushed the float close to the contacts.

i found one black wire broken on top of the sender unit,re-connected but still the same.

am i right anyone?
