So I have a 1990 Ranger and a 1990 Bronco II. The fuel gauge in both were inoperative when purchased. I trouble-shot it down to the anti-slosh module and tried a replacement from a 91 ranger but it was bad as well.
I decided to bypass it and while it may change while turning, braking and accelerating it is accurate under steady driving. This is how I fixed it.
Removed the cluster. The anti-slosh module is the board plugged into the right side in the picture:
The anti-slosh module out:
Remove the three connections on the left side. I used pliers to pull them.
The connections removed:
Jump the other two connections. Here I used a wire but later I soldered the pins together on the back side of the board:
This has worked for both of my RBVs and to fix a friends 93 Explorer so I figured the problem is common enough that I should share.
Hope it helps. Also if you don't want to pull the other three connections you can tape over them to test it.
