SOURCE: fuel gage does not work

I just fixed that problem in my 87 Toyota pick-up. My fuel gauge showed FULL all the time. The sending unit in your fuel tank has probably croaked. I had to drain the fuel tank, remove it, and try to remove the screws that hold the sending unit in. The screw heads ALL snapped off due to them being 21 years old. Ended up having to buy a new fuel tank, as we couldn't get the broken ones out of the tank. Found an aftermarket new tank for about $275 at Advance Auto. Sending unit is only avaliable from Toyota for about $125.

I have 4 wireson the fuel pump assembly 2 green red and black. Where do the green ones go

One of the wires should go to the gas gauge and the other to the low fuel warning light.

Good day, I need a wiring diagram for the instrument cluster on a 2001 Mazda B2500 TD with the plug pin labelling in pdf format.

The only place I know of to view the wiring diagram is in the workshop manual . Your friendly sparky may print out the page for you. If not invest in the manual, you will save the price on the first repair.

I have a 01 cougar with the v6 and was wondering why my gas gage does not work? The low fuel light stays on but no gage movement. Will someone plz tell me where the fuse and the relay ( if it has one) are...

it sounds to me like the fuel guage sensor in the fuel tank , i think if it was fuse or relay you wouldn't have any lights on .if you car is sedan or station wagon I would likely guess that it is in boot under carpet there useuly is a plate that requires removing to inspect fuel pump , some cars have guage's and pumps as one unit. hope this helps a little.

It displays low fuel level light after i fill it up. it takes days to climb back up but i never know for sure how much gas is in it

To be sure that the sending unit is bad,you need to locate the fuel pump connector and make some tests,first find a wiring diagram and see if the sending unit sends ground to the gage,idientified the cable and put ground or power depending what it works whit and see if the gage moves correctly if it does change the sending unit.If you had tell me what car are you talking where more helpfull for me to give you more accurate information.

1996 caravan replace fuelpump & filter.won't start, so i tested plug at pump, thats good. ground the black wire to frame & it works, ok.but fuel gages does not work. but you turn key on gage jumps....

Have you checked the fuel pump relay under the hood and the fuel pump fuse in the dash?It can't hurt to rule those out first,right?
The fuse and relat diagrams , should be in the owners manual.
Good luck.

Fuel guage pegs high at start then goes to empty

Jason, as far as the fuel gage, try a couple of resisters at the wiring for fuel gage sending unit, in gas tank. It's two wires, use the resister inline between the two wires. One resister is for low fuel level, the other for high fuel, If the gage reacts properly to both resisters, the problem is the sending unit in the gas tank. You can try 40 ohm and 250 ohm resistors. I used to get resistors from radio shack, I don't know if they went bankrupt? The store in my community closed. Other places may have resisters?
Just to add, the wire colors for sending unit/sensor are purple and black with white tracer.
