stick a paper clip or something similar through the gap of space around the mileage reset pin. if you bend the paper clip properly, you should be able to knock the needle back over so that it rests on top of the little bar.

Repairing an inoperative gas guage on a 1997 Buick Park Avenue. Needle stuck behind stopper pin?

Have fixed this issue many times... you need a STRONG magnet. Turn the ignition off, place the magnet over the gauge (on the clear plastic cover over the gauge cluster) on the end of the needle... it will react to the magnet and move when you move the magnet. Simply rotate the needle back into its proper position. Raise the magnet up... if it stays in the position, turn the ignition on... if your gauge is not broken, the needle should be reset and function properly.

Well.. same thing happened to me and what you do is take a long paper clip and stick it through the travel reset button hole and and carefully move the gas gaige thingy around. The first time this happened to me with my Malibu i spent 35 bucks to have it reset it. It then happened a second time and i refused to have pay that again. I was amazed that it only took me like 3 seconds to do it .. and saved 35 dlls.

How do you reset the fuel gauge needle on a 1998 olds?

There's no way to reset this. If it's out of range or doesn't work at all, check wiring going from fuel sending unit inside the gas tank up to main harness. The fuel sending unit may just be worn out and need to be replaced.
