the sender for the fuel gauge is in the fuel tank. it's part of the fuel pump assembly. it could be the wiring, or the sender itself is bad. try grounding the fuel tank with a jumper cable to see if that does anything. the wires run down the driver's side inner frame rail. there are 2 electrical connectors along the way.
