Default So my fuel gauge read empty on a full tank once agan. I had replaced my fuel level sending

units last time and it fixed the issue so now I was confused because I tested the ohms and these were still fine. Just when I was about to pull my dash, I decided to give the senders one more look.

Suprise, suprise I take a look at the wires on the plug of the right fuel sender it looks like something chewed through them...(Sorry, no pics). Now I know that area is exposed to outside but can something actually crawl through that space?

I just end up getting some speaker wiring and splicing them with a finish of electric tape and nylon tape.

Default Yikes! Wonder what else got chewed on?

I've had critters gnaw through wires in my house and garage, but never my car.

Damn critters...
