...would this explain my random on-off reserve light?

I have my sender apart. The wire thats broken is the thicker copper one, not the ones that the float ride on.

If I just cut this copper wire, will this make my reserve light go off permanently? Is there a way to solder it back on, or should I 'cut and run' so to speak...

I wont miss the reserve light too much as long as the sender works well...

thanks, dd
