Chances are that the fuel level sensor that sits in the gas tank and registers the amount of fuel left is faulty. Either the sensor itself is bad, or the wiring/connectors leading up to it. An additional possible complication is that often times the fuel level sensor is often part of the fuel pump in the gas tank. Hope this helps!

What can cause a 2000 Neon fuel gauge to read just over half when totally full any clues?

Bad sending unit. This is what reads the tank level and sends it to the gauge.


You have a 93 geo prizm lsi 13L you just changed the dash cluster and now your gas gauge reads a 14 too full how can you reset it so its right do you have to reset the computer if so how do you do tha?

If the gas gauge reads a little over full when the tank is actually full on a 93 Geo Prizm, that is normal. Sometimes, when filling the tank, it will register over the full mark. The computer can be reset by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes if the tank is not actually full.

What does it mean when your fuel gauge reads over full all the time you have dual tanks on a 76 K10 and it reads the same on both tanks but moves down to full when you turn the key off?

never mind, I fixed it. I had a break in the wire from the tank selector switch to the gauge cluster. Funny thing is that wire runs from the switch out the firewall and down the left frame rail with the wires for the level indicators then runs across to the right side and up the right frame rail to the main wiring harness on the right side of the engine. My break was on the right frame rail near the transmission. Took me all afternoon to find the stupid thing.

Why would your gas gauge on a 2002 Saturn Vue after filling the tank not read full but half or a quarter of a tank?

The gas gauge sensor is most likely stuck. It is inside of the tank and over time it will get corroded.


What if coolant gauge reads 100?

If the coolant gauge reads 100°C (212°F), it indicates that the engine is overheating. This can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly. It's essential to pull over safely, turn off the engine, and allow it to cool down before checking the coolant level or seeking professional assistance. Continuing to drive under these conditions can result in a blown head gasket or other costly repairs.


Gas gauge reads full all the time on a 97 Pontiac transport?

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.

Why do gauage show overheating when not over heating?

The gauge might show that a vehicle is over-heating when it is not hot because the gauge has been damaged. Often, once a vehicle has actually over-heated, the gauge will need to be replaced.
