I bought my 02 new and had a problem with the fuel guage at about 10k miles. The thing went to full and stayed there. Well, it has been doing it again with 56K on the clock (out of waranty). I did manage to figure something out today though. It only goes to full and stays there in the vicinity of high voltage lines (300KV and higher). Anyone ever had that happen?
I can cause the problem by hitting a poweline trail with 500KV transmission lines. The guage will slowly (20 minutes or so) go to the full pin and stay there til I get away. When I drive off the trail it will eventually return to normal. The fuel guage is the only one affected. Any ideas how to sheild it? Time to start reading up on electromagnetic fields I supose....
