I've found a replacement fuel gauge sensor at Amazon that looks like a great fix for the fuel gauge problems we all have had. Dorman 911-022. Has anyone installed one of these? It says it's an exact fit. It has the plug that goes into the top of the fuel sending unit and has a plug that apparently connects to the fuel pump. I don't remember the pump itself having a plug.
Just wondering if this requires any wiring work. I hate to have "rigged up" connections in my gas tank.
Any reviews good or bad would be appreciated.

The only thing I have used (having done this job twice now) is the little plastic piece with the metal fingers. I didn't disconnect or replace any wiring or connections.

Re: Dorman Fuel Gauge Sensor
As part of the kit you mentioned, you remove it from the kit and basically toss the rest of it out.
Look up the how-to done by Wes. It should be in the 2000+ common problems thread.

This part worked great! Direct replacement. Plugged in to fuel pump and plugged in to housing with no modification needed. Great to have a working fuel gauge again!
