It is the sender. Replace it with a new one. Both of mine died, and
you cannot tell that they don't work by looking at them.

For older cars, these bushings can be a pain in the you-know-what
to get out. I had all of mine replaced (got the set from Carlsen),
and paid someone else to do it. He swore a lot, and he had a lot
of big, beefy tools. I don't know if the subframe bushings by
themselves were real bears, though.
