Default Fuel gauge problem SOLVED

A while back my FLHT fuel gauge went wild, bouncing back and forth like the fuel was sloshing, only worse. I looked all over the forum trying to find an answer. Seemed all the threads quickly moved into the <<I never use it, use the odometer>>type of statment. Well I DO use the odometer, but the needle bouncing around kept attracting my attention. I went to the local stealer and talked to a mechanic who thought it would be the sender in the tank. I replaced it with no better results. So this time I replaced the actual gauge and its fixed!! Cost me a sender I didn't need, but that's what I get for listening to the stealer.

Anyway I thought I would post this in case anyone else is having the same trouble and at least I didn't have to pay any labor charges.

Now if we could just figure out how to get it to stop fogging up, we would have it made.

Well I am going on 2nd sender in 3 weeks, and the dealer said they tried a new gauge and still not working. They checked electrical system and all seems to be fine.

Typical Dealer service "...all seems to be fine."

Except of course that it doesn't f'n work.
