I just noticed my daughters fuel gauge is having issues.
I started her car and noticed the Fuel Gauge was showing FULL sitting on F. I thought that was odd cuz she always has it near 1/4.
I sat there looking at her Mileage since I just changed her oil and the Fuel Gauge started moving towards Half tank. it sat there a bit then traveled back to F. then slowly moved to 3/4 and then back to F.
I drove the car back to her and on arrival I noticed it was solid at 1/4.
I turned off the car then started it again and the Gauge again moved to F sat there then started to slowly move to half and back. It kept slowly deciding a different fuel level. I turned it off.
She said its been doing that a few weeks and fixes itself after driving a few minutes.
This seems like a bad connection to me aka poor ground or something.
I replaced the whole fuel pump assembly in this car like 4 years ago so I highly doubt its bad.
Back then it was discovered the Fuel Motor wires loom was being crushed between the body of the car and the frame right at the driver side foot area causing the fuel motor wires to corrode and rot. aka no fuel pump spin, like a dummy I replaced the fuel pump then discovered this wiring harness crushed and the wire corroded. there was another wire corroded I cant remember if I spliced it or not. I hope so lol. (I did a post about it with pics)
So anyway... what can I check ASSuMing the fuel pump assembly is not at fault.
