Is the voltmeter gauge fused? - 2005 GMC Yukon Denali

Seems that the IPC/BFC ACC fuse is responsible for the instrument gauges not working on your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am 3.8 Liter1. It is possible that the fuse is faulty and needs to be replaced. However, if the fuse is in good condition, there might be an issue with the wiring or the instrument cluster itself. Check the inputs (powers and grounds) going into the cluster with the key on using a voltmeter. Fix/repair wiring as needed or replace the instrument cluster as needed. A qualified mechanic might diagnose this --and a scan tool.

you used voltmeter at the pump?> or just didnt here it run
do say this...please. details, matter....
it told you low fuel is it? is the fuel gauge near "E"
why not state that first.?
dead gauges, be 1st right, smacks of gross power loss.
right>? not clear to me what no gauges means.
but the voltmeter is #1 no?

did you tests fuse that look ok. fuse that look ok can be bad.
no gauges, means all dead, no movement,
well the fuel gauge must work , does it, does it match reality?
cranks but never runs. good input there.

does not run for the jeep 3 seconds.? (ASD rules)
no 12vdc power to pump, when cranking,?
01 grand WJ jeep usa.
is the skim lamp off, the cluster lamp for SKIM security is first.
it must go out after key turn on, or it will never run, ever.
I can help.

this jeep has a voltage gauge, it must read 12v keyon
if not power is lost, or battery low.
if cranks that tells me the fues blew.
skim cuts spark and fuel, not cranking btw.

see that lamp 12, if stuck on car will never start but will crank.
the lamp falses if skim is not working or stays on for ******* key.
we SCAN ALL CARS NOW.
IF You can not scan a modern jeep then it can near impossible to diagnose (a hard cold fact)
IF the ASD fails to work, the PCM tells you every time
all 8 ways for it to fail.
but that takes a scan tool (any modern scanner works,)

it will be a blown fuse check owners manual or locate fuse box in car and check for blown fuse

Ground the temperature gauge wire to the engine using a jumper wire, then watch the temperature gauge needle. If the gauge now reads Hot, replace the temperature sending unit. Check the fuse for the temperature gauge circuit. If the fuse is good, check for voltage at the ignition terminal on the gauge with turn the ignition key to the "on" position. Using a voltmeter. If there is no voltage, there is a problem in the circuit between the ignition key and the gauge or the fuse panel and the gauge temperature. Fix the problem and test again. If there is voltage, replace the gauge.

depends on how you connect. I explane.... voltmeter + wire to fuse and - wire to ground
the other way is + and - plug each side of fuse.

Turn the ignition key to the on position and ground the temperature gauge wire to the engine using a jumper wire, then watch the temperature gauge needle. If the gauge now reads Hot, replace the temperature sending unit. Otherwise, check the fuse for the temperature gauge circuit. If the fuse is good, turn the ignition key to the "on" position. Using a voltmeter, check for voltage at the ignition terminal on the gauge. If there is no voltage, there is a problem in the circuit between the ignition key and the gauge or the fuse panel and the gauge temperature. Fix the problem and test again. If there is voltage, replace the gauge.

One way to be sure the gauge is right is to put a voltmeter on the battery with engine running. If the voltmeter reads under 13 volts, alternator is not working. Voltmeter should read 13.5 volts up to about 14.5, in that range. If the alternator is not working, check for a blown alternator fuse in the power distribution box, and recheck alt. and batt. connections. A loose connection anywhere there will prevent alternator from working.

Replace the voltmeter (voltage gauge).

Yes there is and it should be under the dash driver side

Charge the battery to full. Start engine and apply voltmeter to battery posts. Reading should be 13.5-14.5 volts runing. If you read normal battery voltage then alternator is not charging. Check all fuses with test light. Power on both sides of same fuse o?k. Power on one side and not the other burnt fuse. Sometimes when looking at fuses they seem o/k. If they burn close to one end it can be difficult to see. Suggest using test light to be sure. There is a gauge fuse in the system and if it goes it stops power to the regulator on the alt. Hence "no charge" Hopr this helps
