2010 street glide The needle on gas gauge bounces all around unless tank is full. Any ideas?

 

Pulled this off another site: It's a resistor in the sending unit that's gone bad. The bouncing needle is the true reading of the gas sloching around in the gas tank. The resistor slows down the readings to something manageable. Guess they had a problem with these resistors going bad and you have to replace the whole sending unit.


I never rely on that fuel gauge, always the trip meter only.

 

Yes, stop staring at the bouncing needle and keep your eyes on the road!

 

Thanks!

 

fuel gage just a suggestion. I'm **** about fuel usage....I track every gallon of fuel used so I know when I get to 200 miles on odometer, it's about time. The stock fuel gage just gives me a rough idea of what's left. fill up, reset odometer, and keep on trucking!!!

 

+1 on the odometer.
