Fuel gauge ground/power wires?

I was doing some work on the wiring in the SC, and now my gas gauge doesn't work--the needle points directly at 9 o' clock and doesn't move at all. Seems like a power or ground issue to me, in which case I'm sure it's my fault. What color are the fuel gauge ground/power wires, and where to they go?
 
Not to make things harder, but isn't here a daughter (anti-slosh) board on the cluster that supports the fuel gauge? Maybe it's involved? Did your wiring work get near the dash? What wiring did you mess with?
 
I removed the wiring for the ARC system, the stereo, and the keyless entry system. I'm wondering if I may have accidentally de-pinned the fuel pump power/ground from where all that stuff runs under the dash. I didn't intentionally touch any other wires coming out of the gauge cluster or dash area.

The only other possibility I can think of is that I actually damaged the gauge when I removed the cluster itself.
 
Not yet. I ordered the wiring schematics last night.

This was all probably a stupid idea, but here I am...
 
The wiring diagrams are nice, and they offer a forest-level view.

You REALLY also need the EVTM, which offers more of a tree-trunk view.
