Distance to empty is based on the average fuel economy for the last 500 miles driven. You can reset this by unplugging the battery to set it to default but that is the best you can do.

SOURCE: 2000 Lincoln Towncar Cartier,

The pin #11 from the wire harness under the dash, behind the glove box.


---------------- Right behind the glove box (TAKE THE GLOVE BOX OUT) is the control module.There you will see two connectors GRAY AND A BLACK CONNECTOR. Out of that 2 connectors you disconnect the back one.----------If you dont want to cut any wire then do as follows:--- Remove the red center divider from inside the connector,it just slides easily out.Then you can remove the pin connected to green wire, PIN#11, it is on the bottom row in the center. Put the divider back in and reconnect the harness. OR YOU CAN JUST CUT THE GREEN WIRE if you dont want to run through this process. You needn't remove the Glove Box, unhook it from the right, squeeze the sides to release and let it hang out of your way. Behind the Glove Box, mounted to the Heater Unit is a connection with two plugs, one GRAY, one BLACK, each about 2". On the BLACK connector, midway, is a GREEN wire (this is pin #11). Cut this wire to disable "Check Air Suspension" light.

And to prevent the Air Compressor from ever coming on again, just remove the 30A FUSE (#35 I believe) for the Air Suspension from the Fuse Box under the hood.

These components generally draw high current and are fed thru relays under the hood instead of typical fuses. Substitution may find a guilty one.

How do I reset the distance to empty

The DTE is automatic and is the result of your previous miles per gallon multiplied by the gallons of gas registered in your tank.

Unlike the Trip miles, this DTE number can not be reset. It will vary by the fuel mileage per gallon recorded at each startup. That is why if you filled the tank and showed 400DTE you may have had 20 Gallons multiplied by 20 MPG. But if your new average is 16 MPG then it would show 320 DTE.

99 cavalier - the fuel gauge doesnt read accurately and it jumps

Possibly a bad ground wire at the sender on the tank,

Check for that first before tearing into the dash to replace the guage.

your blend door motor has gone bad under the dash . the blend door motor controls the blend door in the heater box to allow hot or cold air to flow or a mixture of both to reach desired tempreture. this is a hard job cause the dash must be moved back to get to motor.
