| 2004 chevy venture - gas gauge jumps wildly , gives inaccurate readings. doesn't seem associated with the fuel pump sending unit. appears to be electrically shorting, as when it park it will bounce up and down and it just seems as some sort of current problem.. started 1 year ago. to know the fuel level, we track the mileage manually. *tr | |||
