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.
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
Possible causes of gauge not working. Faulty gauge Blown fuse. Open circuit in wiring to the gauge. Temprature transmitter in engine faulty. ( most probably the actual fault ) Lack of coolant in the engine.
bad temp sender usually. Bad gauge rarely.
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.
Could be temperature sensor Could be gauge
There are several reasons why a gas gauge could stop working. A short in the wire from the sending unit could be the culprit. The computer that controls the dashboard gauges could be going out.
Could be low on coolant or a sticky thermostat.
the problem could be that the enegn is jamed
If your gas gauge is not working on your 2000 Impala you need to take it in to a repair shop. There could be a fuse that needs to be replaced to prevent you from running out of gas.
