Fuel float plug?
I don't think it matters which way around the wires are. I think they just measure a resistance to calculate fuel level.
As for how often that one or the LHS one fail, I cant say for sure, but "not very often" would be my guess!
I've read the dash takes a mean reading of both floats to determine tank level, however I don't see how the lever arm float in the LHS could give any reading above about half full, as the arm can't get there from what I recall. Could be mistaken, it's been about 5 years since I did mine!
When I first came across it, I had thought the LHS might have been for low fuel warning, but if the suction jet pumps aren't working evenly and one side of the saddle has more fuel than the other, this then wouldn't be accurate, so the mean reading makes more sense from that perspective.
