Re: fuel gauge
did you check the guage the needle could be stuck or the guage itself is not working.

Re: fuel gauge
Sounds like a stuck or broken gauge, they usualy will read one end or the other with(broken or shorted wire)

Re: fuel gauge
also check the printed circuit on the back of the inst panel for burned wires. If the guage doesn't get any power, then it won't read.
