2000 Buick Century gas gauge reads full all the time

2000 Buick Century gas gauge seems to read correct when car is turned on, but quickly reads full, even when it is almost empty.

You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.

2000 buick park avenue gas gauge problem

Sending unit is bad. but as said check the wiring first. sending units in chrysler vehicles are part of the whole pump unit that is inside the tank. The whole assembly must be replaced. The unit does not cost too much, but the labor can be intensive...Good Luck

I have a 2000 buick Le Sabre. gas gauge does not work properly. i filled the tank and the gas gauge reads full. and it works properly past half. then it starts flucturating. i disconnected the gas gauge...

There are three possibilities. The gauge could be defective. The instrument panel voltage regulator could be bad or not grounded or (most expensive) it might be the sending unit.

Gas gauge

The sending unit in the fuel tank most likelt went bad. It is probably a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the oil change.
