You should check voltage at the fuse with a dvm. It's possible you disturbed the fuse links around the battery- I believe there is a bunch block with a bunch of power leads tied together. Do you have a helms manual with wiring diagrams?? It would really help in assisting you.

....before ya do anything, re-"disconect" the battery for a min or so and re-connect and see what happens....could be fuel sender unit defective or most probably sticking althogh replacing the battery should have not had anything to do with it....

Default No Fuel bars

This a 1990. I disconnected and reconnected the battery but it did not help.
