Fuel Gauge Broken????
HEre is a simple one.... SHould the fuel gauge mark Empty when the car is power down (no keys on ignition)? Mine fuel gauge stays on about 1/4. I disconnected thebattery and nothing. Prior experince on other cars tell me this is not normal. ANy ideas!

Re: Fuel Gauge Broken????
Our gauges are designed in the way that once you turn off ignition (or disconnect battery), they are not supposed to show a correct reading. Meaning that they are free to move up, down, left, right, whatever.
It is completely normal to see a gauge move once you turn the key off.
Once you turn the key back on, the gauge will show the correct reading again. If so, your gauge is good.
