My fuel gauge may or may not be reading accurately but I have to wait til Tues before I can do a fill up. The needle is right above 1/4 tank, judging by what I've put it in that sounds about right. But while driving I had the fan going, the wipers, and the lights. 2 nights ago that was enough of a load to drain my battery completely, but I was able to make 4 short trips within a 2 hr time frame and when I got home there were no signs of a low battery,

I'm going to pull the cluster out tomorrow and clean all of the contacts and check the grounds, and add the extra ground like in the write up, hopefully this will solve the gauge issue, and maybe I can get my clock to work too. If that doesn't fix the gp issue then I'll switch the relay, and after that, I'm startin a new thread lol.

I think I'll swing by tomorrow to get that nut so that way I don't have to try to guess which size nut to buy. I'll shoot you a text and let you know what time.
