2000 CC Allure fuel gage issue

Yahoo Message Number: 86412
Hello,

I recently purchased a 2000 CC Allure with a non-functioning fuel gage (shows full at all times) and I have heard that this is a known problem in this CC model. Before I tear apart the dash and sensor until can anyone tell me if there is a fix for the issue?

The fastest way to locate the problem is to connect the sender side of the gauge to ground, that should send it to empty. If it does then short the sender wire to ground at the tank and see if the gauge goes to empty. If the sender is easy to get to do it there first. I suspect it is either a bad ground at the sender or a bad sender.

The sender is the weak point in the system. Usually the wound wire resister on the sender opens and the gauge show full. The sender is on top of the tank inboard from the lp tank. Ground the center post and if the gauge goes empty then it is the sender. if not work your way back to the gauge.
