The fuel gauge is not working as the needle is hanging down almost vertically way past E. It was working fine until the dealer did the following all in one day: 1) did the passenger airbag harness recall @ nc 2) replaced both radiator cooling fan motors -- warranty 3) did transmission & diff service -- nc 4) did checkout & diagnose as to why drivers seat wouldn't move -- nc 5) replaced thermostat & bled cooling system -- charged 6) replaced drive belts -- charged 7) replaced compression rod bushings -- charged After repairs were completed and as I was driving home I noticed that the fuel gauge was dead -- obviously not receiving any voltage. The dealer says that nothing they could have done could have caused the fuel gauge to quit working. I am not accepting that it is purely coincidental that it stopped working after they did all the above repairs. I think that that their tech' accidentally damaged or unplugged the wire that sends the signal to the gauge. Can anyone please give me some advice as how to refute dealer's claim that the non-functioning fuel gauge is just a coincident and/or how I can check out the cause. Removing the dash & replacing the gauge will be expensive,

Reactman I thank you very much for your advice. Are you in agreement with me that it very unlikely that this is not a coincidence? Considering the amount of work they did I'm thinking that it is very likely that it happened while they were doing the work. Reactman I thank you very much for your advice.

I am a firm disbeliever in coincidence, usually when something dies after I have worked with it, I've got to stand up and say, "Yes, it's my fault!" Someone can't just shirk off this kind of problem. And I'm sorry it took such a long time to reply, My own truck was having problems, and have been working towards a new(er) one, at a fervent rate.
