My daughter has a 95 Countour 24OHC. Her fuel gauge has been stuck on full for some time, moving only slightly as the fuel level drops. Fuel pump just died, I replaced it. Thought that would solve the problem, it didn't. I was very careful when replacing to ensure the float was not hung up on installation. Any ideas before I remove the gauge itself? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Check that board and you can follow the problem solving. I will let you know though what the answer is, I'll get this thing fixed.

I can pull the reciept when I get home and get you the part number, it's an SVT though. Just let me know. Money doesn't always bring happiness.
