Fuel Gauge Not Lighting All The Way UP

Jordo! · 04-09-2011, 01:49 PM

Just curious, but how long does this repair take, and what are the odds of the problem happening again?

four pages on this thread, yet, NO one reporting this issue has gone to the dealer.. if it was happening to me, i would at least get it checked out and report was the issue could be.

Why would anyone want to go and have this issue fixed? It seems to me that the top segment on the fuel gauge is the least important part of the thing. Now, if the bottom segment didn't work.... THAT would be an issue.

wow! A colossal waste of time and effort!

Although top segment may be failing and not a cause a concern for you, it well would be a symptom of a bigger problem i.e. fuel sensor, relay,etc.. which could cause the entire display to not work correctly causing a much larger problem, hence, better to get it checked out and not a colossal waste of time and effort.

I don't think so. The sender has a levered electrical motion. If there was an issue, it would be the whole distance. Not just one segment on the dash gauge. Again, not an issue you should be concerned with, IMHO.
