flickering gauge.
I was driving home today ands noticed my gas gauge couldn't decide how much I had left. it bounced between 1/2 and 3/4 marks (rapidly). I am haesitant to believe it's the ground at the gauge because wouldn't the temp gauge would flicker too? I did check/clean the contacts at the fuel tank sender and the right rear ground point. Any ideas/suggestions?
BTW My sisters 84 has the same problem with the temp gauge only. Any correlation?

My 86 does that on the temp gauge especialy when I have all the elcetronics on (at night, in the rain, in the summer, when your signaling to turn.) I think most of these do that. Id be curoius to know the cause also.

my temp guage used to tick when i turned my subs up... added a ground at the back of the car and no more ticking, althogh it ticks up when i turn the a/c on. could possible the other grounds in the car such as the ones in the engine compartment.
