Not sure about 02, but on earlier models it was accessible through the trunk. Autozone online repair manuals may provide some guidance.

I have read of success w/ sticking fuel level sensors by adding Techron fuel additive to the fuel. It reportedly cleans the variable resistor of sulfur deposts that causes the problem. I have not personally used this fix.

good luck
