There is no reset button for the fuel gauge. Something is either wrong with the gauge or the sending unit in the tank.

how do u fix a gas needle on a 2004 nissan maxima
if your talking about the needle on the speedometer, disconnect the battery again and it should go back around to the right spot for some reason when they get juice from the battery they jump backwards , try this it worked on mine when i put the battery cable back on i dont immediately start it , i wait for the needle to go down to the bottom before starting , hope it works for you

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.
Battery. Analogue (needle type) Voltmeters do not require batteries to display results
The D indicates the discharge side of the guage, and when the indicator needle is located anywhere in this area indicates that the alternator is not creating enough current to charge the battery, and therefore, the battery is being discharged. The C indicates the charge side of the guage, and when the needle is in this area, it means the alternator is putting out enough current to charge the battery. A needle right in the center indicates that the current going into the battery equals the amount of current being taken from the battery by your vehicle's electrical devices. The closer to the center, the lower the amount of current is flowing, and conversly, the farther to the edge [closer to the D or C] the greater the amount of current flowing, whether it's a charging flow, or a discharging flow. Therefore, when the battery is being charged, the needle should be somewhere between the center [no flow] and the C.The closer to the C, the greater the rate of charge to the battery.
Disconnect the battery first. First you disconnect the battery. After you disconnect the battery, you can pull it with a pair of needle-nose pliers, but only after you have disconnected the battery. It is quite important to disconnect the battery, or the thing that might be fused to the fusebox might be your hand. So disconnect the battery first.
with everything off unhook the negative terminal an place a voltmeter between the battery and the cable if the needle comes up you have a draw. start pulling fuses until the needle drops when it does you've found your current draw
The leads of the voltmeter are labeled that way to get a positive readout when you connect the positive lead to the positive terminal of the battery (and negative to negative). Digital Voltmeters will read negative voltage if connected backwards. Voltmeters with a needle, would have the current flowing in such a way that the needle would try to deflect 'below zero' because the needle windings are designed for the current to flow in one direction, to cause positive deflection of the needle.
In this procedure a needle is inserted into the space at the top of the vagina, behind the uterus and in front of the rectum
what should the needle be on - on dashboard for the battery
