Does it move at all when you turn the key on or off?

Take the plug apart by the tank and ground the wire from the gauge. If it gets pegged you have a short in the wire. If not then you need to replace the gauge

No,it never moves at all just fully tacked out!

It's already pegged out.must be short? ��

You have a Jeep that doesn't run out of fuel. I wouldn't fix a thing.:keegirl:

Let me give you some advice about fuel gauges. Never trust them. I've got over 2 million miles driving a semi and have had the fuel gauge go out in three different semis. Go by your miles and top of every chance you get. I know I know there is a difference between a semi and a jeep, but they both suck at fuel milage. There is a reason why lots of jeeps carry fuel cans.
