have you checked the fuel gauge itself to make sure it is working
how to install the oil pressure gauge on a Chevy 350 small block
Test it with a vacuum gauge.
Check your fuses, if ok..You need to replace the sending unit for this gauge.

Check the switch.
Check the float by pining the wiring at the tank the gauge will go to full if not the wiring or gauge may be defective
One of the gauges or wiring has shorted to ground.
It's not fused separately. If your fuel gauge isn't working, you either have faulty wiring to the gauge, or a faulty fuel sending unit.
If you find the wire to the switch near the thermostsat.Then earth the single wire to the engine and if the gauge inside lifts to max then the wiring and gauge are ok, then its def your switch. Check your fuses for your gauge and check condition of wire coming from temp sensor on block. Sometimes they come disconnected or break from heat.Check continuity from gauge to sensor,if none replace sensor.
the purple wire is the gauge and white and black are ground!
If your Chevy Cavalier's fuel gauge is not working, it could be due to a faulty fuel level sensor, a broken wiring connection, or a malfunctioning gauge itself. Start by checking the fuse related to the fuel system, as a blown fuse could cause the gauge to stop functioning. If the fuse is intact, inspect the wiring and connections at the fuel tank and gauge. If these components appear to be in good condition, the gauge or the fuel level sender may need replacement.
