Check for loose connection first. Fuel senders going out all the way like that is very rare. You would get something like it would show empty when halfway full then go back up when it is almost empty and vice versa. Also make sure the new gauge is compatible since instrument clusters are electronically controlled now a days. One ways you can test a sending unit without getting into the fuel tank is to locate which wire it is going into the instrument cluster and measuring its resistance with an ohmmeter. The resistance should vary according to how much fuel is in the tank which determined by a float along with resistive winding of resistive wires (nichrome wires).

The sending unit is attached to the fuel pump module in the fuel tank. check under the back seat or in the trunk under the carpet for access to the fuel pump

2002 avalanche fuel gauge reads empty
The fuel level sender is located on the fuel pump hanger assembly. Sometimes the fuel pump, sender and hanger are all individually serviceable while other times the whole unit is replaced as a module assembly. The fuel level sender works by taking a 5 volt reference signal sent by the powertrain control module (PCM), modifying the voltage using resistance based on fuel level, then sending that signal back to the PCM. The PCM then reports the information to the body control module (BCM) so that the fuel level gauge in the instrument cluster can be adjusted accordingly. Fuel level senders are the most common failure for inaccurate fuel gauge readings. When the sender (or module assembly) is replaced, it's important to ensure the float is properly attached to the sender arm otherwise the resistance will not change with fuel level as designed. If this was done properly then there is likely a problem with the gauge or in the circuit between the level sender and the PCM. One easy way to test the circuit and gauge is to unplug the fuel pump; this creates an infinitely high resistance which should bottom out the gauge. Then, a jumper wire can be used to short the two sender wires (the smaller 2 of the 4 wires) to create a zero-resistance circuit which should top out the gauge.

I have a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis Ls with a fuel gauge that does not work (gauge may be reversed)??? help please.
The fuel level indicating system is a magnetic type system, which consists of the sending unit located in the fuel tank, an anti-slosh module located on the back of the instrument cluster, and a fuel gauge located in the instrument cluster. The sending unit changes resistance according to the level of fuel in the fuel tank, which varies the current flow through the gauge.The pointer position varies proportionately to the current flow. In this system, the sending unit resistance is low (22 ohms) when the fuel level is low and high( 145 ohms) when the fuel level is high. The pointer of the magnetic gauge remains in position when the ignition is turned to the Off position. On some models, an anti-slosh module is used to dampen out fluctuating fuel signals from the sender. Some vehicles are equipped with a low fuel warning indicator. The anti-slosh module will also actuate the low fuel indicator when the fuel level in the tank reaches 1/16 to 1/8 full.


Do your other gauges/warning indicators work properly with the ignition on? If not, check for power at the fuse panel/fuses.

If they do then partially remove your cluster with connector still installed and check for voltage at cluster connector and gauge. Check continuity of cluster and gauge for ground.

Sometimes the anti-slosh module (if installed) goes bad in the Grand Marquis but not likely.

Sender troubleshooting:
  1. Perform test with resistors as follows:
    1. Disconnect wiring connector at sender unit, then connect resistor between gauge lead and a suitable ground.
    2. Turn ignition switch to On position.
    3. With 145 ohm resistor, the gauge pointer should contact the Full mark.
    4. With 22 ohm resistor, the gauge pointer should contact the Empty mark.
  1. Perform test with fuel sender of known quality as follows:
    1. Turn ignition to Off position.
    2. Disconnect wiring connector from sender and connect it to test sender.
    3. Move float rod away from fuel filter against Full stop position. Wait approximately 30 seconds, then turn ignition switch to On position. The gauge should read on or above the Full mark.
    4. Move float rod toward fuel filter against Empty stop position. Turn ignition switch to Off position. Wait approximately 30 seconds, then turn ignition switch to On position. The gauge should read on or below the Empty mark. If gauge works properly replace sender, which involves dropping fuel tank.

I think the sending unit was damaged on installation or is defective. Did you use a factory OEM part.

Electronic gas gauge Gives wrong reading, after replacing fuel pump and floater.
instrument cluster is just for monitoring. but on modern cars there can be integrated circuits to calculate the actual amount of fuel inside tank. so sender sends signals and dashboard decodes it and show the amount on gauge.

which car do you have? if it is a later model with such system you may need to reset related software to match with new sender unit on pump or floater. (dealer can do this for you)

for example if you have a new daylight driving lights(LKM) controller on new BMW's if you replace it with a new one you need to code it to match with your car. if not it wont operate correctly.,

But there is an exeption. when sockets are broken or connections are wrong, fuel and temp gauges act erratic. they jump, pulsate or dont work at all. before replacing anything more be sure that sender unit or whole asembly is the correct part for your car. second be sure that connection has been done correctly.

Fuel gauge alwaya read full
The wire between the dash and the fuel tank is connected to ground somewhere. there is a control that fails too but if the control failed the temperture gauge also won't work. The wire can get in troble inside the tank too as if someone tried to steal the gas with a hose. if you can disconnect the connector ( wireing ) at the fuel tank and turn the key on and the gauge goes to empty you know the troble is inside the tank and the pump sender unit will need to be removed from the tank to correct the problem or even the gauge unit replaced.70198425.jpg

WRONG FUEL READING
Yes, to get a replacement fuel float, you will have to buy a new pump assembly. Or go to a junkyard and pull one. However, fuel floats, are really prone to becoming stuck due to physical displacement (tipped up too high and stuck on something, obvious solution ) and residue from old gasoline as it decays. (which is basicly solidified varnish, and is quite sticky, but can be cleaned off with petrol products: more gas, paint thinner, etc...)
If you decide to replace it, remember to inspect the part carefully beforehand, which can quite often save you a return trip to the store for the correct part.

2000 Buick Century gas gauge reads full all the time
You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.
