Yeah, sounds like you bought a lemon, unfortunately. What does "gauges reading backwards" mean?

You think it could possibly be the battery? Sometimes a new one will clear up all sorts of electrical gremlins, even if the existing one tests good.

Yeah the problem is its gone thru 3 batteries since ive had the car less then 45 days ..... so we've gone thru the battery situation ...its much deeper then a battery issue ...... and when i say they read backwards it means they go from working to a reverse pattern so the fuel gauge goes from reading full to empty etc etc .... the car has some kind of an electrical issue ...just wondered if anyone else had seen it
