Why does the fuel gauge not work on a 1999 Chevrolet blazer?

If the fuel gauge isn't working on a 1999 Chevrolet Blazer it could possibly be because the float is stuck in the fuel tank. I had this problem when I got my 99 blazer, the float and sensor for the fuel gauge is on the fuel pump which is in the fuel tank to keep it temperature regulated. I had to replace my fuel pump, which ended up going bad on me, and after it was replaced the gauge works just fine.

Have a 1987 Toyota pickup and the gas gauge works until it gets to a half tank then it reads Empty How do you fix it?

The problem is not with the gas gauge, but with the sending unit. The gas gauge is nothing more than a voltage gauge. Inside the fuel tank is a device called a sending unit. It has two wires attached to it. depending on the gauge, one is a signal wire and the other usually a ground. It will have an arm with a float attached and a small crescent shaped grid close to the pivot point. The way it works is as the fuel level changes and the arm moves up or down the resistance going through it changes. Basicly it's a potentiometer controlled by a float. The change in resistance changes the voltage going through the fuel gauge. Sometimes the resistor part (the crescent shaped grid) has a bad spot in it and the resistance goes to nothing or all the way up. Once the wiper part gets to the bad spot the gauge will drop all the way to empty or all the way to full (usually to empty). To fix the problem you have to remove the fuel tank, take out the sending unit and replace it with a new one. I've done it by myself, so it can be done without to much trouble. The trick is to make sure you don't have a lot of fuel in the tank. Putting it back in can be the hard part. If you have a friend help, it's not as bad. If you decide to do it, hook the wires back up to the sending unit after you take it out, so you can play with it and see how it works. Hope this helps.
