Fuel Gauge suddenly stopped working

Featured Replies

I can't find other posts on this. The fuel gauge suddenly stopped working. The dash now shows the 'low fuel warning', 0 miles left and there is no needle Indicator) on the dial at all. It had fuel in it, but just filled it up and the same display shows.

Any ideas?

Put on OBD2 tool on the car and find out what's wrong with it. I suspect either a) a blown fuse, b) a broken wire (open circuit) on the fuel sender, c) a faulty fuel sender. The OBD DTC will most likely tell you which. Failing that, drop your fuel tank and check the power at the fuel sender and the signal coming out out it! ... or just get a garage to look at it.

Simplest thing to check and fix without any specialist skill would be the fuse.
