I haven't found a fuel gauge that didn't use a wire wound rheostat on the float arm in the tank to apply current to warm a bi-metal strip in the gauge. In my '89 Toyota van, my gauge would only work from 1/4 down. I had to take the tank out to work on the suspension and on removing the sender, I found the sliding contact loose on it's pivot and the coil coated with a white residue. With gentle tweaking and 600 wet-dry paper it works perfect. But I would first check if you are getting 12V to the sender on the tank. Keith L.

DODGE DAKOTA HAD 3 DIFFERENT ENGINES BACK IN 92. ENGINES ARE 2.5 - 3.9 - 5.2 YOU COULD HAVE THE WRONG FUEL PUMP INSTALL.WHICH WILL MAKE ELECTRICAL HOOK UP DIFFERENT.THAT WILL CAUSE FUEL GAUGE NOT TO WORK.

I have a 92 Nissan pathfinder manual 4x4. Where

All Nissan have the fuel pump relay near de ECU. But you must hear when starting working, and falow the click. The ECU is mounted under the pasanger seat.
About the Gauges, in the circuit of the front panel, it have a transistor that suply more or less 8volts to the gauges (gas and temp). Is possibly broken. You must replace it. But first, clean it with a contact cleaner; if the problem continue, replace it. Good Luck.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. IT SHOULD BE LOCATED ON THE FUEL PUMP.
