Fuel gauge problem. Detailed.

I'm having the same fuel gauge issues as well - If I start the car it will show some reading of fuel, I can then shut the car off, restart it, and I will get a different fuel gauge reading.
My speedometer has also quit working. I am running a Wiring Specialties harness for my LS1 swap and all 4 needles usually do a full sweep when the key is turned on. The speedometer does not move anymore during this sweep. Yesterday I tried putting the cluster into diagnosis mode, and it would not go into it. I tried probably 30-40 times following the steps in the FSM, but I couldn't get the cluster to enter self-test mode. The FSM says to replace the cluster if this happens. Has anyone here had any luck with replacing the speedo stepper motor or repairing a solder connection inside the cluster to resolve a non-working speedo in addition to fixing the solder connections for the fuel gauge?

Thank you!!!
Thank you Riche. Worked like a charm! I do want to share one piece of advice I learned along the way. Removing the LCD screens must be done very carefully. I first unhooked the clips and lifted them with my nail just enough to clear the clips. Then I fed gift package decorative ribbon underneath to provide pulling leverage from under. I fed two strands for the odometer lcd and one strand for the shift lcd. This way you dont crack the glass with a screw driver. The ribbon may break a few times just keep feeding more and pull evenly and slowly on both sides. No cracks and no bent pins. Good luck everyone!
