Default Fuel sending unit
I' m having a similar problem with an additional twist. My gas gauge has been pegged on full. When I reach just over half a tank, my gauge reads normal, down to empty.
Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any incite to this problem.

A bad spot on sending unit, time for a new one. I would say.

Someone explained this scenario earlier in the thread I believe. Bad sending unit.

Default Flat Wire
The flat wire has a plug on both ends. Back seat to trunk area in the rear and usually left foot kick panel to fuse box area in the front. Grounding the sending unit wire at either plug should send the guage to empty.
