    Hi again guys! I've had this issue with my car since I got it. Gas gauge won't work. It's stuck at a hair over half way.

    Things we've already tried:

    • replaced entire fuel pump assembly - nothing
    • checked for bad wires - nothing
    • connected purple fuel sensor wire directly to sending unit - when disconnected it goes to empty, when again connected goes back to the hair over half a tank.



    Now the oddest thing. The cluster says it was a 1998 manufacture, and the car was manufactured in Sept. of 1996.

    Car is a 1997 Grand Prix SE 3.8L non-supercharged.

    Please help I'm at wits end! THANKS IN ADVANCE

    ALSO! If cluster is swapped out, do you thing it'll work or not? I read something about the 1997 gas gauge working differently ...and I'm pretty sure that the cluster was swapped without telling me before I bought it. Otherwise, it would be the same manufacture year right?

    Oh Great..you did it now.. another post means we can't answer your questions!

    I kid..

    Search for any technical bulletins for your year. The cluster seems like it's been replaced and IIRC there was a known issue with 97's and maybe adding a resistor.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
