Hi all,
I installed new bars a while back and don't know if it's a factor but my gas gauge and miles to empty stay frozen unless I pull the 2amp fuse in the fuse box, then it registers correctly. Once I pull that fuse and put it back in, it gives me the correct reading, but if I add gas it stays the same until I pull the fuse again and put it back in... Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Larry P.
Have you tried disconnecting the battery or pulling the main fuse to reboot the BCM and IM?
I would try that first then if the issue persists Id start checking the signal from the level sender and the signal to the gauge. Maybe with a half tank or so while the gauge is stuck on full or vice versa. Do you have a service manual for it? I would expect the proper signal range would be in there.
I am getting a service manual today and will try pulling the main fuse also. I assume when I pull the fuse, I will go to the correct reading, but when I add or subtract fuel will it change, that is the question... Thanks for your response, It is much appreciated. Larry P.

Of course, I was just recommending to wait to fill up until after the reset for quickest results. Keep us posted.
Pulled the main fuse and same results. Gauge stayed in the same place after adding fuel. I'm going to re check all the connections that were done when the new bars were installed because that's when the problem seemed to start. Thanks for your suggestions... Larry P.
