The fuel gauge jumps back and forth and athen sometimes stays still for a while but then starts the erratic jumping back and forth again. Any ideas what xould cause this? (possibly a short or loose connection?
thanks

Had the exact problem in my 300te. The problem was very simple to fix. The plug that attached to the fuel sender had gotten loose and a little corroded. I just removed the carpet and access panel (wagon), and pryed the contacts to make them a little tighter. That was two years ago and has been perfect since.
