Default Fuel gauge working sometimes.....
Back again with a misc. problem. It's been doing this for a while but it will always be on a full tank. Once and a while it will trickle down to the actual amount when I use the remote start, but once I start driving it goes to full again. Any suggestions what the issues could be? It's not a dire situation but I always like to know when I have gas lol. Thanks

Sounds like an intermittent short in the wire that runs between the temp gauge in the cluster and the sending unit in the gas tank.

Yeah I'm contemplating if it's even worth it to fix... I REALLY don't want to drop the gas tank

No need to drop the gas tank. Just remove the rear seat.
