behind the back seat on the floor is a panel you can remove, thats where the fuel level sending unit is at, they can go bad, its like a volume slider on a stereo with a wire and sponge that moves with the fuel level and changes the gauge, it could be broken or stuck or all crusty.. at least you dont have to drop the tank to get to it.

theyre about 30-40 bucks on the bay

Yea thats what i wonderd. Thats excellent thanks man im going to fix that soon. Would i have to remove the seat or its just under the spare wheel in the trunk? You just fix that too?

It' is under the backseat, if that's the problem. It could be a faulty cluster. Good luck.

Hey man i disconnected the cable on the fuel level sending unit and the gauge did go down but slowly went back to the same spot it was before. So would it be the cable thats connected to it or the part that its not working properly?

i dunno id think the wire has some resistance just sitting there? got another cluster to try? its pretty easy to get out and test another? or just take the sending unit out and move it while watching the gauge, no b's tho while you're doing it lawl

Yea ima try to get another one. When i checked that cable that connects to it, it had black tape all around the wires i dont think the tape belongs their. What do you mean by no b's while im doing it? And thanks dude.

Youre welcome, Ive seen stock electrical tape before..no smoking lol, id trying moving the float manually watching the gage before spending unneeded money, the clusters dont normally fail before the float would is my rationalizing.
