Gas Gauge Problem
My gauge started acting up recently. It goes between accurate and reading a lot more full. It's not from movement - it happens sitting still. I inspected the wires near the tank and they look OK - moving them around doesn't change the reading. Sometimes it's perfectly accurate, and other times is doesn't really move off of full until the tank's nearly empty.
Am I looking at a new sender here? How much do they run? I have GMPP until end of January but with a $100 deductible - if it's less I'll do it myself and save the labor costs.
Car is a 96 LT4.

Re: Gas Gauge Problem (TravisD)
I experienced the same thing with my LT4 last month. I checked the fuse (memory storage fuse) and it was burned out. Replaced it and it works fine now. Check the fuse box.
