Battery draws down unless fuse 19 is pulled. clock on radio continues to display with ignition off and key removed. instrument cluster readout is also still displaying.
On some vehicles, this is normal. The radio will not stop playing until the door is opened....I have no way of knowing if this applies to your vehicle. As for "Fuse 19" is absolutely impossible to look anything up to see everything this fuse is protecting. If you would like good answers that may possibly help you fix your vehicle, it would be wise to take the time to post the YEAR, MAKE, MODEL and ENGINE SIZE of the vehicle you are talking about.
Also, most modern automobiles have several fuse blocks...when you talk about fuse 19, it would be wise to mention WHICH fuse 19.. in the engine compartment fuse block? In the fuse block under the dash? is it a fuse block under a rear seat? Is it a fuse block in the luggage compartment? Etc... If you are not really sure of the best way to describe it, try looking it up in the Owner's Manual.
That way, those of us that work with cars on a daily basis will understand the nature of your problem better.

Well, theres a sending unit/float in the tank that sends a signal thru
wires to your instrument cluster's fuel gauge. You should have an auto
electric repairperson determine where your problem lies. It's not often
the needle's just 'stuck' to where you could dislodge it. More often,
it's pegged overfull or underempty-signaling a shorted component
upstream of the gauge.
Similar problem and found the solution:
In the back of the gauge, where the 2 coils are located, there are very
tiny copper wires which connect all the resistors/diodes. they each
travel from within the coil and are soldered to 3 out of the 4 mounting
pins. if any of these wires are shorting out or disconnected, the gauge
will malfunction.
- take the gauge and flip upside down
- temp gauge has 1 resistor (blue) and 1 diode (copper)
- fuel gauge has 2 resistors, no diodes
- 1 wire should be attached to bottom mounting pin (letter E for EMPTY)
- 1 wire should be attached to pin holding both resistors (half tank)
- 1 wire should be attached to the stand-alone ground pin (no mounting bracket)
Hope that helps!

Hello frumento,
Your are describing an advance cluster failure. I have repaired many GM instrument clusters and see your issue come to my shop on a regular basics.
