Hi, I have a 88 LeBaron convt 2.2 turbo auto trans with the digital dash. The fuel gauge says full all the time, where should I start looking for the problem? Sending unit or wireing issue?

Thanks;
Chad

Either the sender wire is grounded or the gauge is bad (or not getting power when the ignition is on).

Either that or you have the best car ever! It is never empty! The opposite of my chevy. Have you called Ripley's to come look at it??!! j/k
The sending unit in the tank could be stuck in the full position. Otherwise, think about what was said above.

well I got around to looking at it today, I pulled off the plug at the fuel pump and I do not get more then 3 volts with the key on! I'm lost, cleaned the connectors and the wire is good back their, whats a common spot for me to start looking?
