Default Fuel guage

What a PINTA...

I replaced my fuel sensor in the tank and my guage still bounces between full and empty with the bell chimming each time.

Any ideas/thoughts....the bell noise is driving me crazy.

the problem is not in the sending unit but in the bcm--go or call a dealership and find out how much to reprogram the bcm. there is a download for this problem. once the bcm has been reprogrammed the problem should be solved

That's what I'm talking about! Thanks....And I made an appointment for next Wednesday. Hopefully the dealer will locate and correct this problem.
