Fuel Gauge Not Working? Trust the Experts at Shingle Springs Subaru for Repair

September 12, 2019

The fuel gauge in your Subaru may not seem vital, but a gauge that isn't functioning is a quick way to get in trouble. If your gas gauge isn't working, there's a better solution than crossing your fingers and hoping you have enough gas: simply head to Shingle Springs Subaru. Our technicians have the expertise needed to diagnose and repair this part, so that you can once more be sure you have enough gas in the tank.

What Could Be Wrong with My Fuel Gauge?

There are a few reasons the fuel gauge may not be working, from a blown fuse to faulty wiring. However, the most common problem may be a failed sending unit. The sending unit is what tells the gauge how much gas there is. A float in the tank is attached to a rod, which it attached to a resistor. As the float rises or falls, the rod moves, which affects how much current the resistor sends to the gauge. Any problem with any of these parts can lead to a gauge that doesn't work.
