Most vehicles have one fuse that protects all the gauges so if the fuel gauge is the only one not working, the fuse is probably okay. Most causes for a inop fuel gauge is a faulty fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank.
Fuel [Petrol] Gauges that Fail to WorkAlthough there could be one or more other causes for a fuel/Petrol gauge to fail to work, the answer is YES, a "blown" fuse could cause the gauge to not work.
The 1997 Ford Explorer fuel gauge can be stuck on fault because the fuel float is malfunctioning in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge fuse might be blown.
A blown fuse can cause your fuel gauge and speedometer to stop working. Replace the fuse. The fuse can be found in the fuse box. The location of the fuse will be listed on the inside cover of the fuse box.
The Ranger fuel gauge could have several problems causing it not to work. These problems include, blown fuse, bad wiring, loose connections, or a bad fuel sending unit in the fuel tank.
Could be a blown fuse.
wire of the unit on top of gas tank or fuse blown
What was the repair? Sounds like they did more harm than good. Could be disconnected. If not, there may be a blown fuse or (worse) a blown resistor in the gauge.
A blown fuse
Possibly blown fuse. Also could be that your inertia switch has tripped.
Yes , I believe it is fuse # 17 , a 15 amp fuse for the fuel gauge
first off you don't want fire near the fuel pump but the answer is you might hacve bad wires fualty connection or it could be the fp relay oe possibly even a partially blown fuse If you are using a test lamp @ the connector near the fuel tank for the fuel pump, you could be on the wrong terminal. The fuel gauge sending unit will glow weak; the terminal for the fuel pump should have 12 volts, otherwise you have a blown fuse or bad relay or short in circuit.
Blown fuel pump fuse, faulty fuel pump, or clogged fuel filter.
