    Crazy fuel gauge

    Well this is the problem. My fuel gauge is acting crazy. The first thing I did, was changing the fuel sender...nothing happens, I tried 5 different fuel senders and nothing. The second thing I did was changing the fuel gauge...tried 3 and nothing.

    At last, when triyng the 5th fuel sender, my fuel gauge began to act crazy again, but the fuel sender was disconnected at that time!!!

    But the only thing that works is the orange low fuel light.

    What could it be?, a short in the wiring? bad SI board? bad cluster?
