    Just bought the car, the fuel gauge always stays on full. Wondering
    what is most likely the problem.

    Thanks in advance!

    =======================

    I had a stinkin' FORD that I soldered a resistor on the backside of the
    cluster so it would stay that way. Otherwise it would jump around and
    click against the bottom E. It was the sender.

    You may just have a disconnected / broken wire, or short to ground. Just
    unplug the sender to confirm, isn't it under the rear seat in that one?

    you need to trace back the circuit. before you do that though, look
    under the car and check the tank for dents - if dented, the internal
    baffles of the tank could be bent and the float stuck.
