97 GTP Fuel Gauge Broken
I've done a little bit of reading and saw a lot of stories about the fuel sender going bad and the symptoms it causes, such as a gauge that jumps back and forth from full to empty. But mine is pegged at Full all the time. I've pulled the access panel and I have 1 four wire connector. Which pins can I measure resistance on to test the sender?

you should really start your own thread, not the same car and an old thread. it could be the pod or an open in the circuit. given the age of the vehicle i would guess the sending unit connector is bad or the sending unit itself.

oh sorry! i will do that next time.... but just an update, i got it fixed, i took a speaker magnet and circled it right next to the cluster lens in front of the fuel guage. eventually it went around to E . turned the key on and i have a half tank of fuel !
