It turned out that mine was the connection to the sender, not the sender itself. The connection had gotten loose over time, with vibrations causing on intermittent open connection (pegged at 5), and bouncing around quickly when the connection was almost working.

Check your connector. If it is not snug, that may be your problem. My solution was to take a small piece of aluminum (ie pop can) and insert it into the connector between the plastic part and the circular metal connector, like a shim. Now it is snug, and the needle is stable.

Worth a try, much simpler that replacing the sender.
