Fuel gauge not working after new pump installed.

Fuel gauge not working after new pump installed.
I own a 1990 Ranger 2.9l and about 4 months ago the fuel pump went bad. I had one installed at a local mechanic shop. When I got it back from them the fuel gauge had stopped working. I would've brought it back but I was ripped off (charged 700$) for a fuel pump install, so I have no interest going back there. I have replaced minor components (water pump, serpentine belt) and have electrical experience. Any ideas?
On a side note this is my first standard as well as my first ranger and so far (besides the problems any 22 year old truck would have) I love the little monster!

I'll see if somehow I can get this done by myself today otherwise I'll have to buy some Guinness and get a buddy of mine over. I'll post my results. Thanks guys!
EDIT:Pulled the bed off with the help of my brother and cleaned the contacts on the fuel pump. The fuel gauge is doing more than before, but I won't actually know until I run for a week or so. Thanks guys for all the help. I should've come here sooner. I could have saved 700 bucks!
