Question This morning, my wife called me after leaving for work,
thinking we had been stolen a full tank of gas, the gas
gauge was down like empty and the alert light was on. But
after trying to pump gas into the tank, she realized it was
the light. May be a fuse? something else?
Nothing else is wrong otherwise.
Thanks
Answer Hi Juan,
sounds like the fuel pump 'sender' unit is not working. If I'm right, there is a float lever that (in essence) sends the fuel level to the vehicles 'computer'. It could be the lever but most likely the electronic sender/rheostat that actually sends the info. This is all found on the fuel pump and would have to be replaced.
If it was a fuse or relay, the fuel pump would not be working and you would never be able to start the engine.
A remote possible cause could be the dashboard itself but its highly unlikely.
