Your fuel gauge could be dry joints on the back of the clock !!!

What model year is your 406?
check the gauge resistance at full level and at empty. You'll need the gauge out in your hand.
50ohms full and 350 ohms empty.
As far as i remember. Could be other way around, i havent checked one of those in ages.
