'P' Reg Renault Laguna 2ltr Automatic - Dead Fuel Gauge - 'P' Reg Renault Laguna 2ltr Auto - db00069

'P' Reg Renault Laguna (2ltr Automatic) - Leaving work in heavy rain, switched on lights, fan and radio, central locking working fine, wipers, internal and external lights all fine... after about a hundred yards the fuel gauge dropped to 'nil' even though I have about half a tank on board. I checked the fuse panel and cant see a fuse that refers to the fuel gauge. As far as I can tell everything else is working fine... HELP!

The next thing to check is the connector on the fuel level sensor on the top of the tank and to measure the resistance on the sensor. Regards Peter

Thanks Peter. I wouldn't know where to start looking for the sensor you mentioned. Does the car need to be 'in the air' or can I get access to the sensor on my own?? I was hoping that I could avoid garage costs and associated risks... I am new to the area and I really haven't got a clue about local mechanics. Been stung badly in the past and as soon as they realise the limits of my knowledge on the matter, it appears to be 'open season' on my wallet. Any advice would be gratefully received...
