A faulty fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank could cause that.
why won't my gas gauge work all the time.it will read full when i fill it but after that as i drive i am not sure how much gas is in the tank
The gas gauge is in the instrument cluster , the sending unit for the gas gauge is inside the gas tank combined with the electric fuel pump
my gas gauge is not working what could be the problem
Could be water in your gas.
If the gas gauge stops working is there a fuse for it?
It would be better to write: My gas gauge reads empty. Note that 'gauge' is singular, so it needs the singular verb, reads. If you had several cars all with gas gauges that read empty, then the verb would be read.
The gas gauge and fuel pump are on two separate circuits tand both go inside the gas tank. The gas gauge usesf a float that moves a resistor according to fuel level. Gas gauges. When you experiewnce the gas gauge not working at all I would look for a disconection external to the tank first. If you cna send six volts from the tank sender to the gauge this should cause the gauge to read. If it does then you know the problem is with the sending unit and it must be removed from the tank to repair or replace.
your gas gauge float is in the gas tank you have to drop your gas tank and take out sending unit but if the gas gauge is not reading right you should check the ground wire on the gas tank
Bad sending unit, corroded wire from the sending unit to the gauge, faulty fuel gauge are a few.
The fault could be the sending unit or the dash gauge.
the Ignition coil has most likely shorted out
It is a gas tank fuel level gauge that operates without the use of electronics.
