I presume it was an all in one set up, pump and gauge, check you have the gauge adjusted to the right setting and plugged in around the fuel pump.

SOURCE: gas gauge doesn't work changed out the fuel pump

Just had a new fuel pump installed in 2002 Chevy Malibu. Worked great for about a week and then the fuel gauge started reading "empty" when the car has a full tank of gas. What happened?

Perhaps there is a broken are bad ground somewhere. The fuel gauge should work off resistance to ground.

I Have A 96 Toyota Avalon xl 3.0 Car Starts And Dies!! Replaced Fuel Pump Fuesl Filter And Still Starts And Stops?

I'm not 100% clear on exactly what isn't working from your question other than now the car is starting and dying after changing the fuel pump. In that case it's possible you've oppositely attached the positive and negative wires to the fuel pump. Hope this might solve part of your problems.

I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee I was driving it and quit running the fuel pump quit running and the gas gage stopped working

check your fuel pump relay. if not that, then it's your fuel pump. the gas gauge is in the fuel pump, so if your fuel pump stopped working, your gas gauge won't work

My gas gauge does not work, what could be wrong with it?

In most cases, the reason why a gas gauge might stop working is because the sending unit located insider the fuel tank may have worn out. In some cases, this may require you to replace the fuel pump as well, because a lot of times they come with the fuel level sending unit attached. Otherwise, if your car is indeed fuel-injected and you are planning on dropping the fuel tank and changing the sending unit, I would also recommend changing the fuel pump as well, for good measure. I hope this helps! :)

I changed fuel pump, now my gas gauge stays on empty

As the fuel pump and gauge sender unit are in close proximity to each other I would be checking a wire connection is not loose or an earth wire left off at the tank

Dash gas gauge stops showing proper gas level once it hits half a tank. Then gauge will fluctuate between empty (light will come on), full and anywhere in between but seems fine from full tank to half

If the trouble with the gauge started after you worked on it then you likely damaged or created a restriction to the movement of the sending unit. You will have to remove the tank and double-check your work.

1991 honda accord starts intermittently. When it doesn't the gas guage goes below E. Gets spark, no fuel. Already changed main relay.

Hey man if you already changed out the relay i would try changing your fuel pump and sending unit that should stop both of your problems.

I changed the fuel pump in my 2002 kia rio but the gas gage still dont work

Gas gauge has nothing to do with fuel pump. possible causes:

1. Low fuel in tank, get some more fuel
2. Rat chewed the fuel gauge wire or its socket is loose
3. gauge itself is faulty

Gas gauge stopped working

this problem is caused by a defective gas gage sending unit, the sending unit is located inside the gas tank and to replace it u must remove the fuel tank from the car.

Gas gauge does not work correctly.

the sending unit is a variable resistor(potientiometer ) on the fuel pump
its probly bad it requiers a couple confirmation tests prier to dropping your gas tank and changing the pump but I got my money on that sending unit 97% of the time new fuel pump will fix it you coul change just the sending unit but you still have to pay almost as much and its the same job smartest thing too do is change the whole thing
