Default Fuel gauge stuck @ 3/4, and trip meter not working

Does this sound like a relatively easy fix. It's a 94.

You need a new fuel filter. j/k

Sounds like a float issue. I'd take the cluster out and put it back in, maybe just a loose plug.

Is everything else working in the guage cluster?

Yeah everything is good to go. I'll try that this weekend. I just got the car yesterday, and I was driving home (2 hours away) I noticed the gas gauge wasn't moving. I didn't run out of gas thankfully.

Yeah, hopefully just a bad plug connection, but I think if its the fuel probe switch, it might cost a little bit to replace.

could be the float or sending unit failing
