Problem for Chevrolet 1999 Monte Carlo

1999 Monte Carlo fuel gauge stopped working




By Shinecatcher on Mar 14, 2009

Fuel gauge began acting like a geiger counter going empty, full and anywhere in between. Then when it was empty, it read full and stayed there. Filled it up and it reads full right now. Don't know when it'll start going whacko again though. Please help since I'm bad about watching my gauge as it is and will more than likely run out of gas. Hate that.

- Thank you for your solutions. I'll give them a try. If they don't work, I may be back. Once in awhile the car is hard to start and seems to start up, but dies before I'm sure. Could that be a clue?

Hi there. If the fuel gauge is the only one acting up, its probably a loose or corroded wire on top of the gas tank where the fuel pump sets in. It could also be a loose wire on the back of the gauge, which is easier to get to so you could always check that first by popping off the dash pannel and pulling out the instrument cluster and looking for a broke wire on the back of the fuel gauge. But if I had to bet I would guess its on the other end by the fuel pump. Worse case sinario, maybe a bad sending unit.
