The gauges are sometimes controlled voltage wise by a small regulator in the dash panel. It could look like a little aluminium box, or it may just be a little solid state black unit.
See if there is such a thing and try a swap. Access to a manual would help here.

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.

SOURCE: Fuel gage on 2005 altima is way beyond full. Does

It is either the sending unit in the gas tank or the dashboard gauge, either job poses its own challenges take your pick. If it is the gauge if you were lucky in a couple of weeks it will become unstuck in to pegged out position but that is only if it is a mechanical issue with the needle itself wedged in place.

SOURCE: Temp gage, fuel gage and dash lights out

yes it is the instrumentation voltage regulator (IFV) I have had to replace twice, it causes the fuel and temp gauge to fall to 0. It is in back of instrumentation cluster on left side about a 1"x1"x1/4", and cost about $50 from dealer.

SOURCE: fuel gage is not working along with odometer

when you pulled the top of the dash off did you check the cable connection to the insturment cluster. i had a similar problem where my gauges died individually including the spedo and tach. slapping the dash usually would cause the gauges to start working again, but that quit also and i had to tear the cluster out and check the conneciton. that fixed the problem.

My fuel gauge is not working, have a 70 Dodge Challenger, have replaced sending unit in tank, dash unit, voltage limiter and checked continuity between wires to gauge and sending unit, and made sure dash...

Only thing I can tell, with all you've checked, is the power to the gage isn't there. If the tank sending unit ground to frame is not connected, the gage will go past the full mark. No power to the gage it will stay at empty side. Power goes from fuse to gage, gage to sending unit and back to gage. Make sure the fuse is good on both sides of it. The gage just isn't getting power from the fuse.

Fuel gage fuse

The fuel gage shares the same fuse as all the gages, so if the fuel gage is inop and all other gages are working then you have another problem. The most common cause is that the sending unit for the fuel gage inside the fuel tank is defective, that is true 99% of the time in my 35 years of repair work.
