You fix it by replacing the part that is bad...you have to check it first before you replace...he is showing you how to check resistance...if you want to learn how to drop a fuel tank go watch a video on that. Just the fact hes taking the time out of his day to show you guys for free is awesome in itself...some of you guys act like ungrateful children who were never taught to show appreciation for someone sharing knowledge and time. Be thankful there are still good people out there and appreciate them...its no wonder the world is going downhill......THANK YOU! Oz keep doing your thing..
Basketball Ave thank you. This comment literally made my day !!
this is good stuff, if you go to a vocational school just to learn this the school will charge you between 300 to 500 dollars for a semester, and even then you still may not no how to fix your gas gauge LOL.
Absolutely!! Thanks Oz
Thank you for this video. Ever since my husband passed. I have had small thing's needing fixed. I got in the car tonight, it showed it was empty. I have a dummy signal to let me know when it is low on gasoline. I thought oh my someone took my gas out after filling it up 80.00 bucks. Got to the store turned it off. When I got back in it showed 3/4 of a tank. I am so glad you Technician know your stuff. My husband was a Tech. As well. Have a great week 😀.
Thank you for stopping by Aquarius Family. Glad this video helped out. Hope you have a wonderful week yourself
I hope you have more videos in the future Oz, keep it up honey. I as well worked with my husband on cars many times. I cherish every Technician who is honest. Thank you for your response. Have a Blessed day.
@@aquariusfamily3498 sorry for ur loss Ma'am pray you get ur car situated properly and wish you the best in Life 🖤

Hey Oz Mechanic. I have a Hyundai i20 2010 model. I took it to Hyundai for checking because I had issue with my fuel gauge reading and they concluded by saying I need to get my instrument cluster replaced, which too much for to afford.
I want to know is it not possible to fix the fuel gauge reading without having to replace the cluster as they said because everything working on the cluster except incorrect fuel reading display?
Your assistance would highly appreciated.

I'm a little late for the party, obviously, but I like your series on practical tips for the do-it-yourselfer. I find this and other videos to be as informative as they are useful. Thank you!
We're good for about 250 miles *resets trip a*
Facts as fuck😂
Haha right only problem is when the lady doesn't reset the trip fueling up all week
Please get it but my I do all tests but still it's not available on . So please if I may asked the system can pass through ECU?
Before you replace the sensor put some Chevron Techron in the gas tank. It cleaned my senor and made it work right. My Ford dealer recomended that before I spend $1200 to replace the fuel pump. $10 at the autoparts.
I have replaced a fule pump/sensor on another truck and the gage never read right again. Sensors come with different resistance ranges and they have to match the gage. What he did not say is that you need to know the max and min ohms on the sensor and buy a matching sensor. Otherwise your gage will read really off.
This needs a pin 📍
Excellent. Sometimes when I fill the tank the sending unit seems to hang up in the full position. It happened today. The needle did not start to drop until about 100 miles. It's a 2006 Matrix with 210,000 miles. What's weird is it only happens like every 6 months, otherwise it's s fine. It also seems to act up if tank is slightly overfilled.
great illustrations keep up the good work !!!
I learned a lot thank you !!!
Timothy Bojorquez Sr no problem. Thanks for enjoying the video
Good advice...for someone who's having trouble with that make and model vehicle, a specification in the video's title would have saved some people the time wasted watching something that dies not relate to them.
Thank you I now understand how it works, I have a Toyota avensis wagon 2003 model the fuel gauge and temperature gauge are not working
Awesome Allan. Thanks for passing by. Glad you enjoyed the video
i cleaned my speedo meter then i turned the car the fuel guage is showing full tank when it was not full?? how to solve that
I have this issue on my Honda Fit hybrid. The gauge will never rise especially when I fuel after using the reserve fuel. It will mostly ONLY rise when I have refuled with 15L or above. It's so annoying....
E=IR As the resistance changes, the current value varies. If gauge uses a rheostat in the circuit it changes the R value not the voltage. Good video
You are 😂

If other gages have problems too, you may have an electrical problem like a bad electrical connector or voltage regulator or bad battery. When my battery starts to go bad on my Explorer Sport Trac stange things happen. The alarm system goes off or the radio changes stations.
Oz so I have a 2007 chevy suburban z71 and im having the same issue with the float not reading the gas correctly. The fuel pump is new and the fluctuation is so off its frustrating.
Awesome video sir.i have a question ❓ I replaced the fuel pump .with a brand new censor on it .but gas gauge is not working.what do I do ?
Dude I have a EXCURSION 2004, and the gauge become very temperamental, Thank you I will try and see if I get it working corect. Thank you for the video, and show what you have learned. Have a nice day.
STRAIGHT FORWARD THANK YOU
Man, 1st holiday greetings
I got a 1999 gmc suburban k1500 4x4 and the fuel gage never worked. I put it in the shop what seemed like a month and got it back still not working.
Check out this video is my newest one talking bout this issue
Thank you, hoping this is my problem.
I see that Autel Maxisys. Very nice!
These are some old videos I’m a bit embarrassed about 🙈 camera work and audio
Try a bit of Marine outboard two cycle TCW3 oil in the gasoline. It may start the sensor from sticking1 oz per five gallons of gasoline. It’s burns ash less so need to worry about converters or sensors. Toss it in and just drive. The marine oil will lubricant. I’ve been doing it for years with no problems just runs smoother at idle and cleans injector and lubricants like Lucas fuel conditioners but cheaper
Fuel pump was replaced and it read gas for a bit then it went out again. Any tips to fix it
any time there is a problem with fuel gauge i always check and add a new ground engine to body wire aleast 10ga. and cleane off paint. and disconect fuel pump connection reatach.
This video is very helpful ,thankyu
My car miles are decreasing even when I wasn’t driving when I did go put gas in it it was at98 miles and it dropped down to 46 miles?? What do u think it is
I have a Saab mine read the level everything normal I put it on drive n I take off n weee it goes down like I'm on empty... I can also hear the beep only when I get to the red warning
Same with my car. Eish thanks for help
Hey man. first of all thank you for the video. I have the same problem on my 2016 Nissan Maxima and online I found only Fuel pump & sending unit, where can I find just the float?
I filled mine from a quarter tank to full few days ago hasn’t gone down like at all maybe I just overfilled the tank ? Because my temperature gauge works fine so maybe I just overfilled the car? Because before I filled up at a quarter tank the gas was going down in fuel driving around
Man, i picked the right vid. I have an '05 Malibu, that the gas gauge has failed on.
Will a bad fuel pump cause the gas gauge to work improperly like I was on the side of the road because I was out of gas and the gauge read almost Half a tank????
Well the fuel pump module houses the fuel level sensor and the fuel pump so you might just have to buy the whole unit if you would like
ok, thank you for responding
last week we filled up with gas and the hand barely moved until a few minutes after and this week it randomly cut off while driving we coasted over and it cranked right back up. does that sound related?
Wizard of Oz mexhanics
Check out my newest gas gauge video it shows my diagnostic process
What about Lincoln Continental 1998 will tht be hard to do?? Cause its wired everything works but for the gas Gage!!!!!
good shit my man lots of help
so you were saying something about instrument cluster on chevy trucks and i am having a problem with my chevy trailblazer gas tank gauge. when i turn the key the the feul gauge goes way to the right past the full line and then stays their is their something i can do about that? its not the fuse already checked that just wondering if there's something to instrument cluter
I got a jeep liberty 2011 and I spent 400 plus 150 and still not working. So I'm frustrated
I have a 2000 Silverado fuel gauge works sometimes but when on empty won’t pump fuel how do I fool it to make it work
I have a 2004 Ford Taurus took it to mechanic and had fuel pump replaced but now the fuel gage won't go all the way up to full indication
We just had my fuel pump replaced today still reads empty now what
Very useful, thx.
Video was a big help. Thanks OZ
David Ortiz no problem. Glad it helped out
i have a 05 chrysler 300c and it doesnt mark how much gas i have it stays on the bottom ive seen videos & it’s confusing i saw that its the fuel level sensor and others say its the cluster i dont wanna waist into something thats not gonna be the problem if anybody had the same issue & fix it lmk what you did & what it was TIA
So I replaced the float on a Pontiac Grand Prix. It worked well for a week then started bouncing around again. Any ideas what the issue might be.
Did you ever find problem?
Having this problem with my 2005 Dodge Durango 5.7L Hemi Float not working properly and spitting gas out when I fill up..
So muy gas cluster is not working good it moves not to how suppose to... I replaced the whole assemble fuel pump and keeps doing the same. So?
My gauge stopped working on my 99jeep grand Cherokee Laredo been running out if gas should I replace the whole fuel pump.mayb the pump us weak by now
I have a 2010 9.3 2.0T.
My battery died and replaced it with a new battery and now my fuel gauge shows empty. If I release the fuel pressure on the schrader valve, the fuel reads correctly for about 30 seconds then shows empty again. Do you think its the fuel sensor, fuel filter, or posibalty something else. ?
Thank you for your help
Wil that apply to my 07 Mercedes c230?????
Excellent video. I have the same issue with my Yukon 2015. Where do you buy the fuel sensor ?
Mahmoud AlShami I found mines on eBay
Hello i have a 2006 Chrysler Sebring. The fuel gauge its not working right, the arrow goes sometimes up and sometimes down. its also wasting too much gas for a v4 any solutions?
I have a 2002 Town and Country. The fuel gauge never seems to be accurate. As I drive the gauge will lower and say I need gas. Then if I had the car off for a while and started it back up it would read a not empty. If I put $20 in at e it would read half a tank. 20 gallon tank and gas is 3.30. Not right
Why i get the code that the sensor its not working but its still reading right
wait so what did you replace a float/resistor? But not the entire sending unit correct?
My ford expedition 2001 won't show the low fuel light when its empty. Thoughts?
Hello how are you im having a question i have mitsubichi lancer 2003 es my car is showing gas went it doesn't have its showing half tank went is enty can you please tell the name of the part for car or show a wedsite were i can get it im going to give you a like .
Thanks
I digital instrument reads I have 55 miles of fuel left but the actual analog fuel gauge says I have full tank. I recently topped it off. How do I troubleshoot this issue?
Before I replaced the fuel pump on my 94 silverado c-1500 2wd 5.0 the gauge would go way past the full mark and it would run out as soon as it hit the red for reserve on gauge. Ok now I had to replace the fuel pump and now my gauge isn't working at all and my headlights will go to flashing at times. Any ideas?? Thanks for any help!!
I replace the sender until and the fuel pump on my 99 Toyota 4 runner and it's still reading that it full ? So what i can do next
There is an access panel on the rear seat of Kia Rios hope it helped somebody
So it could only be the float not the gauge??
Ive seen it where the float material come off. But yea there’s pieces like shown on the video where the level sensor loses contact
I just filled up my gas tank and then proceeded to park my truck on a slant and when I got In It showed past empty. I checked my account to see if maybe I forgot to pump my gas then I also topped it off. It’s full. Registers empty.
I’m actually going to make a video showing how to diagnose a fuel gauge in the vehicle. Coming out sooooon
My Subaru Impreza fuel gauge is faulty as well. I put in 3 gallons tonight and the gauge did not move up.
christianblackmtlrlz put 60 in my truck and i’m still empty
Great video but your alarm beeping was driving me crazy
good video thanks
None of my gauges work do you know what it can be i have a 06 chevy cobalt
I swap my pump 3 times and it’s still not gauging correctly
This is another I made that shows other ways to test a malfunctioning gas gauge
Oz you are good guys. I had problem develop 2005 Park Ave where fuel gauge would swing between empty and full with tank about 1/4 full. Believe sender bad. Bought new ac delco made for supercharged3800 and everything ok until first refill. Gauge stuck at full. I am thinking stuck float? I have Ultra with driver info shows gal used and mi per gal. That reads accurate. Would disconnecting battery do anything. Hate idea of forcing new warranty exchange. I walked in part so I guessing I get stuck on2nd labor
David Bock if you can hook up multimeter to the float. And move the car up and down. If the reading move your float is good.
Having that problem with my 09 kia sorento, what can I do?!
Can This Happened If You Overfill Your Gas Tank ?
😆
Can anyone help? I just drove my car to work 31 mile drive and it's reading right above half tank but it was full as I just filled it up last night. I didn't look at it before I left but it's a 21 gallon tank and I shouldn't be getting 3 m/g. Is it a fuel leak or a faulty Fuel gauge? 97 ford explorer. Appreciate any help. Thanks
My 03 Impala used to get at least 650kilometers to a full tank and ever since the engine misfires from my backyard machanic friend wiring my spark plugs wrong its been very off. Had the spark plugs corrected and my exhaust issue fixed since I recorded this milage. Does it burn more fuel while doing this? Do I still get the same milage? I'm scared to drive until it's empty you know lol
My meter was reading right below halfway. I put 12 dollars in the tank and it only went up like 2 notches
Good job brother what about a 2002 Dodge Ram van how does that work for the gas gauge.. keep up the good work bro..✌
my problem is the needel is going from full to empty back and forth and it's hard to tell if the gas is almost gone or full so could this vid help me with that problem or no it's a Chevy Malibu 2004 and the gage is doing this
Austin Capps by testing out the voltage you can see if there's a break on the sensor. What you can do is hook up a multimeter to the sensor.. find a wiring diagram and move the car up and down by rocking it. And look at the multimeter to see if the voltage is a constant up and down or does it break
i replaced my fuel pump and sending unit and now when i start my car the fuel guage will go up but when i turn the engine over it drops to a quarter tank. i have a 2004 dodge stratus 2.7 liter v6 flex how would i correct the problem
ghostrida86 put in a Chrysler part not cheap junk. Put it in correctly
Honda Civic 2002, am having a new fuel but my gauge is not working
Great video
Really helpful my g
how do you know if the sensor or fuel pump is bad
I’m about to put out a new video talking about this
good video, i was curious wheather u could just buy the brushes like u mentioned instaead of buying the whole unit, now i have a better understaniding if i can save myself some money, thaks for your tips and also thanks for widing your vidoes too, see ya , auto enthusics from Michigan.
Thanks for watching and keeping this channel relevant. But the cheapest thing to buy would be the sensor. Brushes are not serviceable.
Is this Ovedeo ?
So if I have the same problem with my truck would still pass the smog check
My Mercedes benz 1823 atergo fuel gauge not responding please help
done same thing last week, put it about five gals in tank barely moved, 3 days later drop another 5 gals, moves a little , hrs later randomly went to full, rode like hell and it's slowly going down, I KNOW I'm not getting that kind of mpg something s definitely wrong lol!!!!!
I really don't know how was this labeled as "fix" when this video doesn't have anything to do with "fixing" thing. It's just diagnosing and a lot of face exposure geez. so boring seriously
Zero it's explaining how to fix these issue with the gauge not working. Sorry this video didn't help out. Hope you have a wonderful day
That's the point. Just explaining not actually fixing. anyway thank you. have a great day too
got a Accra you said " can get to by way of back seat" helps out a lot....thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!
Zero
Oz Mechanics hey thanks for the info.i don't know why some people are giving you shit or throwing insults at you, anyway thanks again for the information it helped
Can you have a bad ground?
Still have a problem I need some help
Just replaced my fuel pump..gas gage read empty and I just drove 40 miles without a problem
I need my rav fixed can you do it
great job
my gas gauge isnt working on my 2003 nissan maxima and the check engine light is on and indicts that one of the sensors is messed up, would that mean i would have to get a whole brand new sensor for it?
some vehicles dont sell the sensor it self. you might have to buy the whole full pump module
Hi. What about a Nissan Armada 2008. We replaced the fuel pump already. My truck dies when it gets to half a tank of gas. Our mechanics cannot figure it out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Jackie what ended up being the issue?
@@Beeskness We haven’t figured it out. I just know when it reaches a 1/2 tank, I fill it up.
Great video champ
