One question.. does it read past the "Full" mark? Or does it move around a little? But... A common problem with the GM vans... There is a "Fuel Level Card" in the fuel pump located in the fuel tank.. The card send a signal to the ECM to the dashboard for your fuel gauge.. If you have over 100,000 miles on the van I would replace the whole fuel pump assembly (250 -300 bucks +labor) as the tank has to come out anyway.. remember Murphys law will come in if you just replace the fuel card.
i have a 1990 ford ranger and my fule gauge always reads full, why?
BUY A FORD
In the gas tank
you should go to a car shop for that one!:)
Defective fuel sending unit.
bad sending unit in tank, or short in wireing.
Check the ground to the tank. That may help
you need to replace the sending unit in the tank!
The fuel gauge on a 1985 Chevy Silverado will read full all the time if the sending unit is defective or the wire has come loose. When the tank is full, the sending unit normally shuts off which cause the gauge to read full.
Float could be stuck in the tank or the ground wire on the tank is broke.
Bad sending unit. This is what reads the tank level and sends it to the gauge.
Ground the power wire and have someone watch the gauge. If it goes to full then the gauge is working. Clean the ground connection and turn the key on and if it reads then it is okay. If not then you have a bad sending unit.
