Fuel pump/sending unit confusion

Fuel pump/sending unit confusion
I recently learned that my fuel gauge is lying (showed half a tank when it ran dry...) and I narrowed it down to a sending unit issue. I checked the left sending unit and resistance looks fine, but the right one that's part of the fuel pump assembly is pretty off. The resistance was around 28 ohms, which adds up to the approximately 3/4 of a tank which the cluster showed (even though it only has 5-6 gallons of gas in it).
I've been trying to find a complete assembly for it, and while I'm not opposed to grabbing one from the junkyard, it seems to be a common problem on these cars that the gauge isn't accurate. I would rather just go with a new unit.
Only problem is FINDING a fuel pump assembly for a 2006 sedan. It seems that the coupe ones are available everywhere, but the sedans appear to use a different sending unit. Does anybody have any input on this?

Pretty sure they come as a single item and you can't buy just the level sensor. If you look through some of the billions of threads about this problem that we all share - you may find some who have had success cleaning the contacts of the sender which, amazingly, are just exposed and sitting in gasoline their whole lives. You'd have nothing to lose by attempting that first...
