    Fuel gauge works intermittently, without apparent pattern.

    I noted yesterday, while it was functioning, it occasionally would
    bounce or flicker slightly, over about an eighth of a tank range.

    In order to test it via grounding the wire from the instrument panel to
    the sending unit, I removed the three wire connector near the driver's
    side trunk hinge (this connector contains the three wires from in tank
    assembly).

    My question: which wire do I ground?

    The center gray wire from the tank changes to a white wire to the
    front: it is in the center.

    Is this the one I ground?

    Presumably I turn on the key, put a wire in the prong at the connector
    for the wire, then touch it to body/ground, and make certain the fuel
    gauge pegs.

    thanx
