SOURCE: my 2001 cadillac deville electronic dash board doesn't work. The gas gauge doesn't work, the gear position doesn't work, the temp gauge doesn't work the reverse lights doesn't work

Check the Instrument Cluster Fuse... I am willing to bet that is the problem

Gas gauge

I had mine stop working over a year ago. If the tank is more than half full it will measure correctly but anytime it falls lower it stops working. Luckily anytime it is truely low the low gas warning does come on so it is a great help.

You have blown a fuse..check fuse box. There may be one fuse box one in the cabin but also check for the fusebox in the engine compartment.

The fuel gauge on my '91 Town Car doesn't work, at all. Can that be fixed by replacing a fuse?

Hello
If it was a fuse problem none of the gauges would work or the warning lights. The problem is caused by a defective fuel gauge sending unit that is located of course inside the fuel tank. To rpelace this part requires the fuel tank be dropped out of the car.

Fuel gauge does not move, stays on E, after car starts. Low fuel light is not coming on.

Hello graytape, was the fuel gauge and low fuel light working and then one day just stopped working?, if so, you have probably blown a fuse and you should be able to locate what fuse and where it's located in the owner's manual.
If you recently got the vehicle and then you found out that the gas gauge and low fuel light doesn't work then that is something completely different.
without knowing the year of the vehicle I can only give you an educated guess.
Many vehicles have a float in the gas tank and this float is directly linked to what you see on the gas gauge. However, after a number of years the floats get saturated from the fuel and become heavy, heavy enough to where they don't float anymore. That is one of the most common causes of the fuel gauge not working.
The sensor that activates the low fuel warning light may be independent of the fuel gauge and the fuel in the tank isn't low enough to turn it on. Your tank has to be very low to activate the low fuel warning light.
Good luck!
