Most likely cause would be a defective/stuck fuel sending unit, which is part of the fuel pump assembly. Lift the rear seat for access to the fuel pump. One other possible cause would be a wiring fault between the fuel pump and instrument cluster.
my gas gauge is not working what could be the problem
the problem could be that the enegn is jamed
There could be several things wrong with the system that the thermostat gauge is connected to. You could check to see if the gauge is working correctly. If the gauge works fine, then it could be the housing that the thermostat is mounted to. It could also be a faulty bypass valve near the thermostat which prevents the engine from heating up. Check these places to see what may be wrong with your escort.
It could be a faulty gauge, a faulty sensor, or a wiring problem. What engine do you have in what year car?
You temperature gauge could be not responding because of a faulty fuse. If you check your fuses and they work then you may have an electrical problem.
posiable a bad fuel sending unit.
It sounds like a bad Temperature Sensor or the Gage It's self.
If your temperature gauge isn't working the problem is a bad gauge, grounded or disconnected wiring or, most likely, the temp sender isn't working.
If the temperature gauge is not working, one thing it could be besides the gauge itself is a blown fuse. Another possibility is a loose or broken wire on the gauge.Ê
This is a common problem ,check your fuses.
Could be temperature sensor Could be gauge
I have the same problem, Audi have told me to check sender unit in fuel tank, if this doesn't show up anything then they will put it on their fault reader which could point to to a faulty fuel gauge pod. have you solved your fuel gauge problem yet ?
