Because you touch yourself at night
If the fuel gauge is stuck, the needle never moves, then the gauge has a problem and needs to be replaced.
no
Most likely the cluster, but it could be the sending unit.
Mine does, too.. Annoying.
There is no reset button for the fuel gauge. Something is either wrong with the gauge or the sending unit in the tank.
The Ranger fuel gauge could have several problems causing it not to work. These problems include, blown fuse, bad wiring, loose connections, or a bad fuel sending unit in the fuel tank.
Sounds like you have kink in your fuel line somewhere.
When it says empty, you'd better believe it is.
For the fuel gauge(needle): Faulty fuel tank sending unit or circuit; Faulty gauge or electrical system short; Incorrectly functioning voltage regulator or related circuits. For the fuel smell: Leaking fuel filter or fuel filter connections; Loose or poorly connected fuel pump or fuel line connections; Plugged, dirty or poorly connected fuel injector(s); Punctured or damaged fuel tank.
It's a GM
I am in the process of fixing my fuel gauge problem now. I took the fuel pump out of the tank. at the top of the float arm there is a memory stick much like the sim card you install in your cell phone. it has many copper lines running through it (looks like the gas gauge) and the read needle on your float arm gives the reading of how full the tank is. the needle on the float arm seems to rock back and forth or side to side which over time pulls the needle which is spring loaded (no actual spring, but by the bend in the metal) away from the chart or sim card. you can try very very gently to put the spring back in the needle by inserting a small regular screwdriver or equivalent behind it and try and get the needle to make contact with the sim card again. if successful your fuel gauge should work properly again and you save a couple of hundred bucks.
definatly sending unit gm's are notorious for this
