What should I do if my fuel gauge is not working?
When you remove the sending unit, inspect the float, float arm, wires, and the sender itself to ensure it’s intact and functioning properly. There is a possibility that the arm is binding, so move it up and down to make sure it moves freely. Reconnect the gauge wiring to the unit and ground the unit.
