The fuel sender is part of the fuel pump module.the gas tank has to be removed and the module and fuel pump replaced..usually the gauge sender failure means the fuel pump failure is not far behind.On alot of GM vehicles,the fluctuating gauge will trigger the check engine light.

My hyunda sanata gas gauge shows I have 1/4 tank an then i run out of gas the low/fuel lgt doesnt come on this has happened 3 times already. is the gauge faulty? it started when we had a big freeze.

either the gauge or the sending unit. Both can be checked with an ohm meter for accuracy. You will need a manual that tells you expected resistance.

Cant find the fuse for my rear view camera on my 2007 xl7

whats dead, the cam. or the display?>
that is in the FSM. the factory service manual,

a real rats nest.
all answers USA Grand Vitara.
i cant find it, you stumped me, the FSM pdf fails to show the camera option package. at all. so must be (guess) a supplement manual.
why not check for power at the camera, 12vdc, got power there.?
use a volt meter, if power is good, it's other issues, if power is bad
then ask for fuse on that wire color there, we can tell you the fuse
any color wire.

Gas meter keeps bouncing

check the ground wire for your fuel gauge, or it would be a bad fuel level sensor which is located on the pump assembly itself, located IN the fuel tank.

Gas hand doesnt work

The most common cause of the fuel level meter not working is that the fuel level meter sending unit located inside the gas tank is defective.

Gas gauge doesnt read gas amount

Gas gauge might need ajustment or re-placed. Won't hurt to get it checked out. Don't want to get stuck some where with no gas. Hope this helps.

2005 Ford Taurus ABS light and fuel cap light remain lit. Also digital meter than reads gas and mileage keeps turning off. Just fixed brakes so theyre fine but light stays on and cap is on fine.

you will need to replace the fuel cap. The light doesnt tell you the cap is on or off. What itis doing is measuring the pressure in your tank. If it is not in a certain range then the light comes on.

01 chevy impala. power mirrors and gas gauge not working

Check all fuses and relays. As far as the gas gauge, you may need a new fuel pump, fuel pump relay, or the float on the fuel pump is loose or came off from ear and tear.The mirrors: check the fuses; also, check, or have the button panel in the door checked to ensure the connection are secure. May need a new switch for the mirrors. I am not familiar with this vehicle; but this is what I suggest doing to solve the issues.
