    I've noticed when I take my battery out or do anything like that if I just put the car back to normal and just drive for a second my gas gauge goes right back to where it's supposed to be now I've had dash problems for years so I always know how much gas is in the car at all times seriously so I can just jump in the car gas gauge doesn't light up display doesn't come on I know what's in the car and how many miles I've got to go to let me fuel no matter

    Yes I've done this once thinking there was something wrong when I first got the car and it was dead on I guess because it didn't change when I reset it

    You just drive the car. The gauge will reset within 5 min to 5 hours. Not sure why it can take a while sometimes.
