    70 GS with gauges…I think I have the wrong one installed. It’s not registering anything on the gauge.

    You should be able to read resistance with your ohm meter through the sensor.
    A warning light sensor will show open circuit.

    The sensor and the switch look very different from one another

    Parts store senders will not read close to the originals unless it's one from Lectric Limited like Larry posted
