How Do We Fix Gas Gauge & Odometer That Don't Work?
My 16 year old daughter just got her driver's license and was given a car but the gas gauge & odometer don't work.
Needless to say, I don't want her running out of gas on some dark street or highway. What would you do to troubleshoot these issues? Thanks so much!

Re: How Do I Fix Gas Gauge & Odometer That Don't Work?
Well, you really need a scan tool......
Most likely it's a bad cluster....is the odometer mechanical or LED? When you say the gas gage doesn't work, what do you mean? Does it stay the same(i.e., 1/4 even if you fill it up), or is it always on E? Do you know the history of the vehicle?

Re: How Do I Fix Gas Gauge & Odometer That Don't Work?
Yeah, a scan tool is a great idea!
The odometer is mechanical. The gas gauge just stays at the bottom, below E, without fluctuating. The rest of the cluster works correctly. I know the previous owner of the car so I can ask him about the history. What do you want to know about the history?
