Re: Gas gauge

Have your alternator tested, you will have to remove it but most parts stores will test them for free. If thats not it unplug, clean and replug the wires that go to the gas tank. If that doesn't work you might have to clean the connections behind the gauges. if it still does it it could be ether the sender in the tank or a short in between it and the gauge. if its a short and you haven't found it yet you probably wont.

i did step 2 first, than thought my stereo started acting up around the same time and i happen to have a spare alternate laying around so i switched them and both problems went away. when i had it tested the alternator barely passed, but i watched as the voltage was all over the place.
