My 96 neon has the same problem...but all my guages were acting funny.

I disassembled the cluster and resoldered everything. i think you should only have to resolder the loints for the 2 wiring hrness conectors though.....Seems to be working now....time will tell....as it was an intermittened problem....good luck ......

yup I did the re-solder thing too and my fuel gauge dont work either. I was told you cant buy just the sending unit. You have to buy the fuel pump assembly which is like $210 at autozone. If anyone else knows where I can buy just the sending unit please email me or IM me and let me know. Thank you. I travel alot and hard to drive far without fuel gauges working properly and not have to stop every 200 miles to top off.
