Re: Thought I fixed it, but apparently I didn't
If either of the connections (the ground or the signal) become disconnected from the sender then the gauge pegs out like that. Make sure all the connections are good and tight.
From what I understand the fix-a-gauge is only for the 1/8th= empty, 1/2 = full gauge fix.
I just went through fixing my sending unit last week. What most people would have thrown out I repaired and it is working great. The tiny wires inside the unit had a broken turn and the grounds inside the sender were all corroded. You may want to pull the sender apart and burnish all the contacts and grounding points. It made mine rock-steady and didn't cost me anything but time.
