How do you reset the fuel level gauge after replacing the battery on a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu?
Is the needle stuck under the "E" pin? When off, does the gas needle hang straight down? If so, the repair is SOOOOOO simple you'll want to light your car on fire.
1st: Make sure the car is off and you can clearly see the dashboard.
2nd: Take a paperclip, straighten it all the way out, then make a 90 degree bend in the middle and the last quarter inch or so.
3rd: Insert the bent tip of the paperclip into the opening where the trip odometer button is and push/play with the needle (pushing towards the thermostat) until you can get it past the other gauge and around on top of the "E" pin.
DONE!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!! ;)
What happens is that there is a certain scenario that GM doesn't mention. After filling the gas tank, and removing the battery, the sensor for the fuel system gets knocked 180 degrees out of phase as soon as power is reapplied. The reason they don't like to mention it is because the part that they want to replace costs $165 plus all the time spent since it's inside the fuel tank.
