The reason the guage is staying at empty is because it has set a code for a fuel level sensor. This car has 2 so it could be either one, or a wiring issue (unlikely). When you disconnect the battery, you likely either clear the code or reset it as not current so it allows the gauge to work for a short time until the code sets again. Have it scanned and I am sure you will find a code likely P2066 or P2068 for the level sensors.

SOURCE: cadillac cts cranks but won't start

My 2003 CTS would not start on the first, second or third try after filling the gas tank. Finally after several months of this occuring every two weeks a check engine light came on. It was the evac purge valve. Tom

SOURCE: theft system locked

To get the key out; look under the steering wheel for a plastic flat head screw. untwist it and then push the spring in and your key will be free. Then, go to your fuse box and remove the main fuses and you will hear the doors unlock when the system reset itself. Plug them back in and start your car. This just happened to me... seems the only things that were working were the navigation screen, headlights, fog lights, and reading light on the inside. Dash board was all dark except the engine light.

SOURCE: cadillac 2004 cts, wont start

My car just started to have this same exact problem. Worked fine, came back home from a trip and it won't start. Everything comes on but no fuel guage movement or click when try to start. I have 85,000 miles on the car. Seems to be a common trend. Anyone find or receive a fix from a dealership?

I accidentally pulled on the plug to the ECM on 04 Cadillac CTS while trying to jump start a buddy now the gas gauge reads empty was working fine till then, can I reset it?

Unless the ECM has been damaged, it should do a complete reset when power is removed and reconnected. Disconnect the negative lead on the battery, carefully check all the plugs on the ECM, wait a few minutes and then reattach the battery cable.

How do I fix my broken gas gauge?

Either the wire going to the tank has no power going to it or the gauge in the dash shorted out or the fuel pump sending unit had failed.take it to your mechanic and have him check it out

Just purchased a 2003 cadillac cts the fuel gauge does not work thought it was out of fuel ---filled the car up still does not work

The fuel sender is in the gas tank. If the gauge stays on empty then the sender may be bad . If the gauge reads anything else the wire between the sender and gauge is open. A bad sender can also give the same indication.

Petrol gauge stuck on empty and light constantly

Sounds like a broken gas tank sensor in the gas tank. The sending unit has probably gone out.
