2001 Volvo V70-T5 fuel guage malfunction




By kp_123 on Jun 14, 2009

" "
2001 Volvo V70-T5. Fuel tank is full, but the fuel guage indicates completely empty and the low fuel warning light is on. Washed the engine earlier today (engine was cold / no high pressure water). Cannot identify any other electrical items not functioning.

I had a similar issue and started to notice other electrical failures along with the gas gauge. My rear doors would not lock and my rear wiper stopped working. I started pulling fuses and relays to see if this would reset, no go. But then I hit the jackjpot. In the rear electrical panel, below all the fuses and relays is a 2" x 2" black plastic square with a big screw in it.

Remove the screw and pull evenly on the black square. This seems to be a major electrical hub for the car. I reconnected and all 3 of my issues disappeared...I read somewhere that a fix might be to disconnect the battery for a few minutes, which I guess re-sets some relays and circuits, but I guess this did the same thing. Good luck.
