gas gauge stays at E
I put gas in my truck but the gauge doesn't move. Any ideas how to fix it?

yeah, sounds like an issue with the wiring. My dad had the same issue with spedo. It totally stopped working for a week until he drove over a speed bump really hard and it suddenly started working again.
