What causes a gas gauge not to work?

What Causes The Fuel Gauge Not To Work? An inaccurate fuel tank reading is most commonly caused by the sending system which reads the fuel tank level and sends the reading to the gauge. Issues can also stem from a bad gauge, blown fuses, or corroded wiring. You can self-test all of these parts at home with a few tools.

Is there a fuse that controls the gas gauge?

The fuse box will either be located under the driver’s side dash or in the engine compartment, so consult your owners manual to pinpoint the location so you can replace the fuse.

How do I reset my fuel gauge battery?

What should the voltage be on the gas gauge?

Remove the fuel pump module so you can manipulate the float arm. At this point, with the key in the ON position (but without starting the engine), back-probe the connector and check for voltage. You should always have 5 V or 12 V on one of the pins. One of the other pins will be voltage feedback to the gas gauge.

How does a gas gauge work in a car?

Your gas gauge works in a similar (more complex, but similar) way. There is also a float-like instrument inside your gas tank that is connected to a rheostat (or resistance-sweep…think of a volume knob on a stereo) which communicates directly to the fuel gauge.
