I have a 2001 Aurora with the 4.0 V8 and one day, right after filling up my tank, the gas gauge went straight to "empty" and stayed there. I took it to GM and they said my "fuel sending unit" had gone out, along with whatever sensor it has on it. They replaced both in about 4 hours and 450$ and it fixed the problem. Still works fine today over 2 years later.

Your gas gauge in your 1990 Dodge Dynasty has a full tank of gas but the gas gauge still says it's on empty how do you fix this problem?
Its probably the float in the gas tank that tells how much fuel is left in the tank... its sticking.
Why is your 2002 rodeo Isuzu gas gauge showing empty when there is still gas in the tank?
More than likely the fuel gauge sending unit located in the fuel tank is faulty.
How do i test the fuel gauge on a 1986 ford bronco 2 it always reads empty i already no the float sinks yet is there a way to still check the gage to see if it will read once i get a new float?
The way to test the gauge is to unhook the wires to the sender and the gauge should read empty. Now, ground the sensor wire and the gauge should go all the way past the full level. If this happens your wiring and gauge are fine.
My gas tank in my 1976 jeep cj5 has a full tank of gas but the gas gauge still says it's empty how do you fix the problem?
this problem could be caused by one or more of three things 1 The fuel sending unit is bad. this is a float connected to a variable resistance module that senses the fuel in the tank. To replace these you have to drop the fuel tank. 2 the gauge is bad. this is not usually a common occurance but it does happen. 3 the most common problem is in the wiring between the tank and the gauge. Use an ohm meter to make sure your connections are good.
Do they still make car Aurora?
No, the Aurora was made by Oldsmobile, which was discontinued by General Motors.
The fuel pump is fine on my Chevy s10 blazer then why is my gauge still read empty?
The fuel pump may be fine but the sending unit may not be. The sending unit is probably the most common cause of fuel gauge failure.
Should fuel gauge still read when ignition is off or should the needle drop to empty?
Depends on the car. Most should drop to empty when the ignition is off but some cars stay in the same position, they are rare though. (Toyota crown, Isuzu panther)
How do you fix the gas gauge on a Ford Explorer?
As my understanding is, the failure of the gauge is a result of the float in the tank getting a hole in it resulting in it filling full of gas and..well, not floating (grin). Pretty simple, drop the tank, remove the float, fix or replace the float and reinstall. If you have replaced the fuel pump, float (the entire unit basically) and it still has the same problem, and Upon start-up it goes to past full and the goes down to past empty, it could be an electrical problem between the tank and the gauge. You needs to check your fuses. The 1991 to 1994 models have a 15 amp fuse in location # 17 for the fuel gauge
You just had your fuel sending unit replaced but it's still doing what the old sending unit was doing What could be the problem?
PERHAPS THE PROBLEM LIES SOMEPLACE ELSE. IT MAY BE THE GAUGE ITSELF OR A WIRING PROBLEM.
Why can you only get 8 gallons into your 1996 neon?
Assuming you mean gallons of gasoline, the fuel gauge may not be accurate. It may read empty but in fact it may be still half full.
I have replaced the windshield wiper motor and the switch and my wipers still don't work. how do i fix the windshield wipers on my 2001 Oldsmobile aurora?
I recently had a simliar problem on my 1998 Aurora. I switched out the motor and still no go....ummm. I checked the fuse and it was blown. I recall starting the wipers when it was covered in ice and that's when the problem started. Also check out the site below it's totally dedicated to Auroras http://aurorah.proboards47.com/index.cgi
My Saturn SL coolant gauge shows car overheating when AC us turned on. If I leave the ac off can I still drive safely?
You can, but you still have a cooling problem that needs rectification.
