Kevin - you can try cleaning and bending the contact arm on your sender. But I'd buy factory on this part, others have posted about bad experiences with the aftermarket made-in-China replacements available.
I have a how-to in the contributed projects section of the forum, and I just recently bought/installed a genuine Mazda factory sender I got from , a vendor here (it has worked great !!!). Dan will ask for your VIN number to make sure you get the correct one.
When I had ordered one of "those" replacements, it had "opens" when I measured continuity at the parts store, so I never physically bought that.
