    E30 Fuel Gauge Not Working After Cleaning Terminals

    Hey R3v,
    So my car seems to be having an issue displaying the correct fuel level. It always reads that the tank is about 4/5 full. However, when the car does get 'low' on gas, the fuel light will come on letting me know to fill up.
    I took my cluster out and cleaned up the terminals on the fuel gauge, but nothing changed.
    I was wondering if there are any other issues that could cause this? My next step would be to replace or refurbish the sender unit, but I am curious to see what others have done if they had the same issue.
    Thanks

    I posted instruction for cleaning the sender unit. Search my username and try that.
