Does the guage itself work?

On my car, The connector at the fuel tank doesn't have a "clip" to lock it on, it actually slides in and out of the connector quite easily. Doesn't look like it ever did. Pick up the trunk carpet, and there is a circle cutout (3 screws) that lets you get to the connector without dropping the tank. Also check the wires that cross the trunk floor, for cuts/breaks, while you are right there. They look like they could be easily damaged from having a heavy item rolling around your trunk.

Thanks for the info Qwodracer.
