Post Damn fuel guage revisited.. NOT the standard issues..

So, after testing my fuel sender unit with the help of this <a href="http://64.226.197.185/Paragon/Tech/944_fuel_sender.htm" target="_blank">Tech Page</a> on Paragon, I've come to the conclusion that it's Sending the correct info. That means that I don't need to remove/clean anything... it's just some damn issue in the wiring (my guess). I refuse to believe it's a grounding problem in the car since I have both the IceShark battery kit and Headlight kit installed. Has anyone else gotten to this point and actually resolved their funky fuel guage?!!? It's bothersome as that's the Only thing that doesn't function 100% in the car..... <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />

Thanks

The gauge is grounded through the sender unit in the tank, so don't worry about the grounds as it also has a seperate wire for that. The gauge itself however has been known to fail, there is a regulator circuit that feeds the gauge 10v that is known to fail, there was a TSB issued on this I believe.
