More than likely the fuel tank level sensor (which is located inside of the fuel tank is seized. You will have to have the fuel pump and level sensor replaced.

It is a fuel gauge sensor also known as the level sensor, There is a level sensor that has a boot spring attached to it that is probraly jammed, or just simply damaged. This will need to be replaced, you can located this at your fuel pump, which in normal case is underneath you rear seat in which side is your fuel door is located. Once you located the opening of the fuel pump passage then there is normally 6-8 small bolt that is screwed to hold your fuel pump to the fuel tank and some cable harness. Theses will need to be taken off in order for you to take your fuel pump. In my best advice, you minus well replace your whole fuel pump system to save time and complication when installing

see your dealer they can perform a sweep test on the ipc gauges.this will let you know if its the gauge or the fuel level sensor or circuit that connects the two..in my experiance any gauge that is stuck and does not return needs replaced because at key off it has no power..

There is a coolant temperature sensor on the top engine block to measure the temperature. Either the connector is loosen or the temp sensor is bad. This sensor is bad will cause the gauge reading fluctuated. Locate the temp sensor and replace it to take care of the problem.

Most likely it a bad fuel level sensor on you fuel pump. You will have to replace the fuel pump as that is the only way to replace the sensor for you fuel gauge. The sensor is built into the fuel pump. The contacts on the sensor become corroded over time and cause the sensor to malfunction causing your fuel gauge to read full all the time. I have a 2001 Montana extended version that had the same problem. In order to know when I needed to fill the tank, I would completely fill it each time I put fuel in and reset my trip odometer. I would go 400 miles on the tank before I would refuel until we were able to replace the fuel pump.

the fuel sender is back, change same

hello, it sounds like it has something to do with your fuel sending unit located inside your gas tank,on the sending unit it has a float arm that reads the fuel level, some times that float arm gets jammed and wont show your actual fuel level,to fix this with your gas tank at least half full use a rubber mallet or any other object that wont damage the tank and with your key in the start position with the car not running but reading your gages hit the gas tank not to hard but hard enough to lodge the float arm loose, if this is unsuccessful then it will probably be a bad fuel sender location sensor located on the actual fuel sender if that's the case you'll need a new fuel sender. good luck and please send me a update or any questions let me know.
