It appears my gas gauge on my 2000 Challenger has quit. Could it be the gauge or a sending unit and who know where that might be. Any ideas?

My Speedsters gas gauge quit, now my XP has done the same thing. The problem lies in the sending unit, located in the fuel tank itself, and a subminiature pc board fuse that blew. MY Speedster did it, the XP did it- I tried to repair the one on the ski- it worked a while and quit again- blew the fuse. The repair I did involves a fire/explosion/safety risk and I don't recommend trying to do what I did. Find your sending unit from one of the many parts suppliers and replace it or have a dealer doo it.
Edit:
I just purchased a new sender from Parker Yamaha in AZ- for 116.95 - which is far less than the 143.00 that some of the other places want for my sender.

Fuel gauge sender/sensor is in the big fuel tank , in front of the engine,,the center port holds the approx 10 inch long sensor that stick down in the tank and the top has 4 hose connections (besure to reconnect to correct hose inlet) if you notice the marking for each hose (where the hose comes from and to which inlet they connect--please let me know for the record),,there is also either a 2 prong or 3 prong wiring connector.if you get a new sensor besure parts dept knows what model the boat is , not just a challenger 2000 ;and the year,, but a 5694 or what ever..
