Default Things that go wrong with a 5.0

Recently i have seen the fuel gauge only actually give a correct reading if the tank has been filled completely...otherwise it always says its full is there some way it can be fixed or do i need to replace it?

Also the power windows can only be put down from the drivers side, the passenger switch dosent work, should i replace it>

Than the power locks didnt work so i bought the actuator kit and hooked them up yet only the drivers side worked, what could be the porblem?

it does sound like the wiring in the passenger door is completely screwed up

1. probably sending unit bad in tank
2. replace passenger window swith = easy task and cheap!!
3.first remove door panel and with a test light check the power and ground on the acuator while hitting the button to see if test light will work?? if it's a broken wire most likely its in the rubber boot portion where the door hinges shut.
