[QUOTE="Russie, post: 305877, member: 4537"] To recap, my fuel sender wire in the fuel pump broke twice this year. After having the wire soldered back, I thought it would have solved the problem at least for some months. But this morning, the fuel gauge needle dropped to the empty mark again with the light on. The last thing I remembered was that I still have 1/2 tank of fuel so I drove on assuming the wire could have got loose again. But to my surprise, the fuel gauge meter suddenly rose back to half tank, then it dropped back to empty again, then it rose to 3/4 tank, then dropped again and there was once it rose up to FULL tank :eek: but finally back to empty. Is this cause by the broke fuel sender wire? or could be due to some other failure? Any sifu to comment on this? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
