The fuel gauge on a Chevy may become stuck if the sending unit is defective or become disconnected. Without a signal from the tank, the gauge will not move.
if it has went completely clockwise against the stop you need to flip it counterclockwise with a paper clip or something
fuel gauge stays on full and the tempreture does not move from cold on ford explorer 1998
On a car, there is a float inside your gas tank. It is attached to a switch that sends the empty.....full signals to your fuel gauge.
Could be bad gauge or float stuck in fuel tank
Bad sending unit, corroded wire from the sending unit to the gauge, faulty fuel gauge are a few.
It Seems like you may have a fuel sending unit problem
you need a new fuel level sensor,
Try to see if there is a common ground wire to these 2 gauges. If there is make sure it is grounded to a clean dry grounding site and see if this helps.
broken fuel pump/ fuel filter can cause car to die right after starting. If the fuel pump is not pumping fuel into the engine, the car will stall.
if it is a fixed pulley, itself doesnt move. If it is a rotating pulley, its joint probably doesnt move.
If you really want to fix it, then you will have to drop the fuel tank and remove the sensor, go from there. You can check the float while it is your hand, just plug the wire harness in, move it up and down and have someone check the gauge. Might also be the gauge needle in the dash. You will find out this way.
