Fuel gauge problem !!

[kowan]

When I turn the key my fuel gauge goes straight to full yet the tank is near empty. Where do I look for the problem?

Any help will be great.

Thanks.

hey,
there is a loose wirer inside or behind the cluster. it happen`s to all well nearly all vns.
or just pull the cluster out and clean the fuel needle it might have sumthing on it that makes it stick at sertian points

Ok I was too lazy to search

i'd say check the wiring and connection to the sender unit in the tank... the wire should connect on the sender that usually on top of the tank... theres a plate in the boot to take off so you can acces it

I can get to the sender from under the car, just behind the diff, it is a wagon.
