Fuel gauge and speedometer don't workproperly, had a water leak on the drivers side but got that fixed now the speedometer and fuel gauge problems. Speedometer bounces and the fuel gauge swings sometimes and doesn't change on others.

Water is leaking into the Smart Junction Box located on passenger side kick panel. DISSCONNECT THE POWER FIRST!!! The leak is coming from the Passenger Fender running down the back Onto/Into the SJB. The computer software skipped 5 feet of a section of sealer. Expandable Foam will seal the Fender but the circuit board on the Smart Junction Box is unprotected as Ford felt it would cool the board easier.

Change your fuses your fusebox probably got wet when you had the water leak or if your unlucky it could be a problem with the cars computer but i think they are usually on the passenger side so probably not

Speedometer ,fuel gauge not working

Check the instrument cluster fuse located underneath the drivers side steering wheel (bottom left side). Remove the fuse box cover lid and then flip the plastic fuse box cover over and you will find a small diagram showing where this fuse is located. Replace the fuel and instrument cluster fuse with a new one of the same number amp. Next, check the speedometer cable to see if it is binding or disconnected. This may be two separate problems, the fuel guage not working is a sign that the fuel sending unit inside the gas tank has failed.

My gas gauge doesn't work in my 2003 bonneville. What can i do to fix this problem, along with my broken gas gauge my heater in my drivers side seat is no longer working, i would appreciate any help thanks...

It might not be anything wrong with your fuel sending unit. Keep an eye on your other gauges. I own a 2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP. All of my gauges have started acting erratically. It started with my Temp. gauge, moved on to my speedometer, and now my oil pressure , fuel level and batty volt gauges are affected too. Its a very common problem with GM vehicles.

Fuel gauge and speedometer not working

Check the speedo cable. It runs from the transmission to the driver-side firewall. Check the fuse-box for the fuel-gauge fuse.
