The sending unit is on the fuel pump and could be stuck in the full position. There is no separate fuse for the gas gauge. I think you will need to check the wiring from the fuel pump where you can for breaks, cracks in the insulation and also, check the ground. If that looks ok, pull the fuel pump.

there is one fuse for all the dash gauges, so chances are you have a wiring problem to the gauge sender on the engine or the gauge is defective, which is rare.

SOURCE: 2000 Buick Century gas gauge reads full all the time

You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.

Gas gauge won't work and it has a full tank of gas. Is there a fuse I can change.

There might be but it is unlikely a fuel gauge is fused alone; usually if it is a fuse other things will stop working too but I suggest you are guided in this matter by your car handbook.

Problem is probably wiring and in particular the grounding of the fuel tank sender unit. It could be a faulty sender but they are usually quite reliable.

Test by disconnecting the wire from the sender unit at the fuel tank and short to a good ground and the gauge should read full. If the gauge wire is in a block with other wires it will be necessary to positively identify the gauge wire before testing.
If the gauge reads refit the wire and duplicate the ground wire to a known good ground. If the gauge still reads the fault is a bad ground to the tank sender unit and if it doesn't the sender unit itself is probably faulty.

If grounding the gauge wire does not produce a reading the fault is the wiring to the tank, the supply to the gauge or a problem with the gauge itself.

All other gauges work on the hyundai but the fuel gauge wont work shows empty all the time how can i fix this problem

Turn the ignition on and off several times before inspecting the gas tank because a blown fuse is the usual cause for fuel gauge malfunctioning. If the gauge remains motionless, check your fuse box and determine the fuse's location using your service manual.
Replace the fuse if the link is broken or damaged. Then, inspect the gauge's wire connections for cleanliness and make sure the wires are connected.
Turn the ignition switch to the "off" position. Attach one end of a jumper cable to the fuel-gauge terminal behind the gauge itself. Attach the other end to the ignition terminal.
Replace the sender unit in the gas tank if the gauge reads full and your car does not have a full tank. Replace the fuel gauge if the needle remains inoperative.

I have a 1993 toyota camry v6 and my speed meter and gas meter doesn't work how do I fix the problem my self

This may be two diffrent problems, first start by checking the fuses, check them all. next if you now how to unplug the fuel sender and then ground it, when unpluged it will read full when you ground it ,it will read empty, this is a way to see if the gauge is working, if the gauge reads when this is done then the fuel sender is bad and wiring and gauge are good, if it doesnt read then you will need to check gauge and wiring to gauge. next is speed, i would start by testing the sensor or cable to see if its working, your car may have a cable being a 1993, remove the cable and spin by hand and see if needle jumps also check for broken cable when removing, you can pull cable out of housing sleeve to see if its broken, start with these tests.

2002 monte carlo fuel gauge doesnt work,pump works ok.

It is likely the fuel level sending unit. I had a customer with an 03 Monte Carlo that the pump went out and the fuel gauge hadn't worked in about a year. We replaced the fuel pump module and it took care of both problems. I believe the sending unit is available separately from the complete module.
