Fuel gauge gauge is stuck at 3/4 and when i unplug the sending unit it goes to e. i pulled the gas gauge sender out and it look like it sweeps fine on my meter

I believe I would install a manual rheostat to the tank sending unit and this will allow you to manually test the gauge in the dash.

It could be the gauge or the sender, in the fuel tank, or the fuse to the sender. On some Hondas there's a voltage regulator, in the gauge assembly, holding fuel gauge and some others to 8V.

I would guess the fuel level sending unit is malfunctioning, deposits sometimes build up on the resistor pack, or there is and open circuit in the resister pack, does the fuel gauge needle do a full sweep from empty to full and back when the ignition key is turn to the run position? This is a cluster self check mode, if it fully sweeps than the cluster is ok, I would suspect it needs a fuel level sending unit which is located in the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump modual but usually can be serviced separately

Pull the connector apart at the gas tank, and ground the fuel level sending wire (on the vehicle side of the connector). Turn key to on. If gauge now goes to full, the gauge is good. The sender unit in the gas tank is bad.

This could be a bad sending unit, it goes to full when wires are disconnected. the way to test your sending unit would be with a ohm meter connected to the wires and as you move the float the readings will go up or down, if they do not then sending unit is bad, if it is stuck on full it is hard to test by just removing the connector because reading should go to full when connector is unplugged, try jumping the wires at connector and see if it goes to empty, if it does then gauge and wiring are good and sender is bad. good day

On rare occasions, the fuel gauge does not read the correct level which may result in a no start condition due to a low fuel level.

Upon further investigation, the technician may find DTC P0455/P0461 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Performance stored in the ECM/PCM. Test it.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Either your gauge is bad or the fuel level sender is. Most likely it's the sender in the gas tank. To replace it you would have to drain the fuel tank and pull the fuel pump/sender assembly and replace. You cannot just replace the fuel level sender with this car, the entire assembly must be changed out.

The sender is more likely to fail. If you disconnect the sender electrical connector near the tank, you can ground the sender lead to see if the gauge goes to empty, indicating that the gauge and wiring are OK.

NO, on the fuel pump assembly is a swinging type arm with a float on the bottom end and some metal teeth on the other, as the fuel leval goes up or down these teeth contact a plate on the body of the fuel pump assemby that send a signal to the gauge. Now either your float arm is sticking, guage is bad, or the sending unit is bad. I would suggest the sending unit, it is availble as a repair unit, you dont have to buy the whole fuel pump. The gauges usually last the life of the car.

hi start at the fuel tank see if the wires are connected if so put the fuel gauges sender wire to ground the gauge should go to full if so change the sender unit if nothing moves see if the wires have come off the gauge yates210456
