What resistance do the senders read in the instrument cluster? Does it match the resistance of the senders in the tank?

All those wires on the sender cap arent for the gauge. Two are for the pump and two are for the sender. Sounds like you have voltage supply issues. You should have voltage to the pump and to the senders with the engine running.
