I left the battery disconnected over several hours last night but it is still not working. The gas gauge still reads 3/4 full when I know for sure I have 1 full tank. :(

Oh well, got to bring it in to the dealer tomorrow.
I'm sorry to hear that. I have a Y2K Coupe too so I hoped it will work for you too.

I just dropped it off at a different dealer this morning. I'm keeping my figures crossed. :blueangel:

Just picked it up few minutes ago.....AND WOWWWWW the gauge now reads full when the tank is full. :lol: :lol: :lol: Hopefully it's completely fixed now.

And get this, the service writer at this dealer offered me a courtesy carwash afterward. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: For a second there, I thought I was in the Lexus dealer. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Tuan. BTW, how much was it this time? A courtesy wash, imagine that. However, would you want the grease monkeys washing your C5?

Thanks. :D It was covered under warranty so I receipt I got was $0. But I got a quick glance over the GM bill, and I think it was around ~$1613, :eek: :eek: :eek: because they had to replace parts in both tanks (sending unit, sensors and strainners). Hopefully that will teach GM a lesson about putting out shi.tty parts.

I told him "No, thanks." because I had to get back to work and couldn't wait.
