Update! This fixed my problem completely and the fuel gauge is working perfectly. Check out the passenger side cleaning the sensor video: czcams.com/video/eKqRbihuui0/video.html
A couple things. There is a rubber O-ring under each of the white plastic caps that may not retain their shape properly and may be difficult to align during replacement. They seem to expand once the white plastic plate is removed. Also, make sure the o-ring doesn't drop into the tank when you lift the sensor/fuel pump assembly up and out. The second thing is this. The portion of the sensor you cleaned is only half of what needs to be cleaned. Clean the contact point on the lever arm as well. Use the same q-tip and alcohol there. The contact point on the lever arm is what moves over the fixed plate when the fuel level rises and lowers. That lever arm can be pulled away from the fixed plate just a bit after pushing the clamp posts that secure the lever arm to the assembly. You can see it beneath the plastic piece you remove to get at the fixed plate. Be careful not to break the wire spring. If you don't clean the contact on the lever arm, you will see the same black stuff being deposited on the fixed contact plate once you move the lever arm up and down after the cleaning is done.
Hal D I have a question.the black lid that goes over the sensor.does it have to be placed a certain way to screw it back on properly?i had replaced my fuel pump and after putting everything back on I can smell gas fumes like crazy when I’m driving.im wondering if maybe I installed the black lid wrong and letting out fumes
Rafagas...sorry for the delayed response. I just came back on here because of something else. My guess is that the o-ring(s) did not seat properly in the groove after you tightened the black ring down. I’m assuming you have already gotten your answer by now, but in case someone else has the same problem as you. You have to be certain the o-ring sits in the groove properly or you will not have a proper seal and will get the gas fumes coming out of the tank. That original o-ring will expand once it is removed. Pushing it back in from around the edges under the white plastic cap with a small screw driver worked for me. The other option is to purchase new o-rings prior to doing the repair. I don’t remember the black metal hold down portion as having a particular direction for replacement.
@@HD24680 Hal you are absolutely right about double checking those orings. I was lackadaisical slapping everything back together. Filled up my tank and had gas leaking freaking everywhere all over the ground. Had to go back and reseat everything.
@@theripper121 I know this comment is from a year ago, but this exact thing just happened to me. I have to wait til tomorrow to get a new O ring and reseal it. Did that fix the issue for you? My fuel spilled everywhere at the gas station like yours, I'm 99% sure I didn't do the O ring properly but any other tips would be helpful.
I had to do the same thing for my 2006 g35. I changed the passenger side and failed. Watched you video a cleaned the Dr side and it worked. Thank you for the video.
Nice video. Thanks for making it. Although I tried this but it didn't solve my problem. Eventually bit the bullet and took mine to the dealer to diagnose the issue. Turns out the problem was the AC Climate Control Temperature Module (Unified Meter and AC Amp). If you look at the circuit diagram, this module controls the fuel gauge as well as the AC. It's just a false name. It actually controls a lot of other things. So I purchased a used on on ebay and now the gauge works perfectly. The repair manual actually says to check this unit but typically only the dealer has the Nissan diagnostic tool to tell you that this unit has failed.
@@blessedwiddit Infiniti dealers charge $224 for diagnostics. I know because I’m going through it right now. My car stopped accelerating because I ran out of gas, I didn’t know it was my fuel pump. I had recently bought the car too so I’m taking on someone else’s issues 🙄 nonetheless, my gauges are off so they need cleaning but I’m not letting Infiniti repair my car, I’ll do it myself. They’re also charging me another $224 to diagnose my door and tell me why my door doesn’t lock(most likely the actuator) but yeah, so far I’m up to 9k in repair costs.
2004 350Z had intermittent gas level readings, Cleaning the contacts on the variable resistor as described in your video worked great. The only caution is when reattaching the plastic cover make sure the float arm is in mid range to allow the plastic locking pins to easily snap back into the closed position and apply force to the arm wiper against the "teeth" of the variable (fuel level) resistor.
Those little bolts you have to take out are 8mm. Mine had paint on them I had to chip off to get the wrench on. I tried a screw driver but just ended up stripping out the screw head. So best advice is just use 8mm wrench or a socket if you can get in on. May have to chip off the paint first before a socket will fit. One other thing, be careful around the edge of that circular opening, its sharp. Found out the hard way.
Okay yeah to anyone doing this, be extremely fucking careful when resealing everything. Like someone else mentioned there's rubber O rings under both sides when you take the top off.. when you put them back in, either buy new ones and replace them or make 1000% sure they're in exactly where they need to be and not damaged. I didn't correctly seal one sides o ring (of course the side with the fuel line into it) and when I filled up at the petrol station, I came out after paying and petrol had leaked everywhere. Had to get my car towed and currently buying a new O ring to seal it. Be extremely careful with this!
Make SURE you only have about a half tank of gas before performing this fix. On my first attempt I have about 3/4 of a full tank and gas spilled out of the top as soon as I opened it.
I replaced the fuel pump as well as sending unit on both sides and the fuel gauge is still reading full tank :( I’m not sure what to do anymore and I don’t think it’s my gauge bc the needle moves when starting/turning off the car. Any ideas what to do?
@@purpp1228 My fuel gauge fix has worked so far for 2 tanks. My cluster LEDs went out in my odometer but I can still read it in the dark so I ain't doing anything about it yet 😂
An earlier poster above stated his problem was the "AC Climate Control Temperature Module (Unified Meter and AC Amp). If you look at the circuit diagram, this module controls the fuel gauge as well as the AC."
Can you do a video about how to test the wire for bad connection or bad ground I'm still having the same problem where the gauge isn't reading the level properly. I did post a video about self test the gauge and it seems like everything works fine
you gotta do continuity test from one end of wire to the other....either get wireless ohm reading device, or long cord to hook your dmm leads to so put one end of dmm lead on one end of the SAME wire (continuity, aka good wire test, aka NO OPENs aka NO BREAKS in wire test is in SAME wire) and put other DMM lead on other end of SAME wire (hence why need extension maybe bc other end of wire goes all the way up to ecu :) or really I guess the PCM thingy in the tank right? GO GET ON NICOCLUB forum and read FREE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL
I did this repair on both sensors after watching your video, and both the fuel gauge and and Milage estimate worked perfectly after i disconnected the battery. But just this week the Milage estimate went back to being inaccurate. Was curious if the repair you did was permanent or if it started messing up again? Thanks
Are you getting a fault code for it still (or were you ever?)? If so, did you clear the code(s) after cleaning? If you haven't, def do that! They may not fix the problem but it might. If that doesn't work, you might also need to clear the self learned memory... This is something very few people know about/think to do, but can make all the difference! Even after you clear fault codes, the ecu oftentimes still has them in the self learned memory! It's really easy to do in just a couple min, just Google how to do that, hopefully that will help!
This is not correct. Both sides of the tank are connected by a line that runs between them. There is a valve on the fuel pump assembly that keeps the fuel level even on both sides.
@@Nismonomania okay never mind so both tanks work as one then ..thanks bro will def try both my shit is stuck over half tank when I pumped after I got stranded with no gas
Thanks Homie! I have a 03 G35 sedan I replace the fuel pump only the little motor part but I did clean the sensor on it with a Q-tip when I crack it everything was fine it started up very quickly when I drove it everything was fine except a few miles down the road to check engine light came on took it in the AutoZone in the cold was the p0463 a high voltage signal so I'm thinking all the juice went to the cleaned sensor on the new fuel pump on the passenger side and maybe since the old the sensor on the left side was not clean it all the new one got the surge so that's why the check engine light came on that's my assumption but thanks for the video take it easy
hey did you fix this? curious to know if I need to do both sensors or not...thinking of checking both to make sure, but want to know if something else caused this for you...how did it go? hope good :)
Whats crazy is i replaced my fuelt pump with a new one and replaced the sending unit with a new one as well but my gauge is still stuck at 3 quarters. Both parts are brand new.
it should in general...it is same platform (pretty much same chassis, I don't think exactly but close, like 350z is not same as g35 but close) did you try? would like to know...I like the fx35 as a rig too
Hey bro so i got this code but havent had problem with the fuel guege it does show fuel level properly, what you think problem is? Should i still do this?
yea that was a moment in time for nissan that they were swapping/refreshing vehicles in a funny order so between sedans/coupes and those different gens, there's lots of crossover compatibility (and also a buncha damn incompatibility that's kinda no fun too)
It didn't work for me. I bought a new fuel pump and cleaned the sending unit and it didn't work for me. My gas gauge still reads low with the empty light on.
The reason for two sensors is that due to the shape of the underbody, the tank had to be divided almost in half. I would imagine that's why one side was much dirtier, because that side empties first and sees air more often. The passenger side was dirtiest at the top, which is what would see air the most (and allow the film to harden). Definitely do both.
Yes. It's the shape of the tank--it has a large hump in it that separates one side from another, to accommodate the shape of the car and undercarriage.
I have cleaned both units on my car and still didn't fix the issue, I replaced both of them like 3x and the problem still didn't go away I am guessing the issue is my gauge cluster or the BCM. Anyone know what else could cause this issue ?
Have any idea mine its showing more like if I have 1/4 or half tank it shows 3/4 tank or more by time it goes down where it should be I cleaned both side and change the gauge with the pump
anything hydrophobic and a solvent is good....really water even be ok maybe especially you dry it bc youre gonna put it right back in gas right? but be good and use solvent and qtip or somethin :)
Just Vlad but I noticed that the thing is swipes up and down on the thing you clean with the q tip makes it dirty, when it was moving up and down it was putting dirt down
My fuel gauge is always stuck on Full. I have the check engine light & the code reads to change fuel level sensor & it suggests changing the sending unit. I changed the fuel pump since it came out more convenient than just buying the sensor but the fuel gauge still doesn’t work. Do you think the sending unit is the problem for me?
I have the same problem on my 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan. Fuel gadge is stuck at Full and I replaced both fuel pumps on the driver side and passenger side in the back. Any luck on fixing your problem?
Coby Hester I have an 06, same fuel gauge issue except now I have a code p0462 which says fuel sensor circuit. I'd asume they are a little different to the 08. However I wonder if the sensor has anything to do with how the fuel pump works.
MrWati25 oh okay. Hmm that’s interesting. I haven’t tried this out yet but I don’t have check engine light on for anything fuel related. But also when I do this I’m going to go ahead and replace the fuel pump while I got it open.
Ok, so I just checked it out and went to clean like the video showed. I didn't have to take the whole pump out, I was able to access the little connection on the pump side as it didn't have a protective cover on it nor did it have the mount for one so it was easy, it was in fact dirty and contacts covered in gray crud. Then I did the same on the other side which did have the protective cover on it however I was able to clean with a Qtip through the rather large front opening. That side was also dirty. I leak checked and closed everything up. The gauge seemed more responsive immediately and I hooked up my code reader and deleted the code. Hopefully this was my solution. So yea ours are a little easier access than the 08. I say go for it. Took me less than an hour.
Marlon McIntosh No it did not. However the range of motion on the gas gauge is limited. It detects levels now just not at the right place. I don't know if I have to disconnect the battery and connect again or something actually wrong with the sender itself. The code never returned tho.
@@victorarambula6951 Can't say for sure but they're both built by Nissan. Wouldn't surprise me if these parts are interchangeable within the same years, or at least, the same designs and sensor manufacturers were used. I'd bet money that the fix is exactly the same.
I have the same problem with my 2009 g37, brought the car to the dealer and they told me to change both which I did and my gas gauge is not going under 3/4 of a tank so now i have to use the km to figure out when I will be empty. this shit doesn't make any sens?? any recommendation? tks in advance
flipmode00 squad only other thing could be is the gauge but that's a lot harder to figure out. Cleaning my sender units fixed it and works perfectly now. Hope you can figure it out and if you do, let us know what it was. Thanks
I read that I may have to solder the gauge part on the cluster something I do not want to do or send it for repair which will cost $200 I think. But once its fix I will let you know.
Not sure about the 09, but on the older G35's you can do a self test of the gauge. It would move the fuel and temp gauges to the middle. If the needles did not go to the middle then that meant your gauge was broken. Try searching for combination meter self test.
Steven Coffey I posted a video about the self test and everything works fine but still don't know why its acting up. Plus I switch the gauge to an 2010 one and it was fine too. Its mind blowing
Nice vids but lets be rational. It's expensive to fix, but how many years do u get buying new sending units compared to how much time inbetween cleaning an old one that may just crap out on you?? Save your money to maintain these cars period. Stop modding cars when u making Hella high payments. Rich stay rich by acting poor and the poor stay broke by trying to look rich waketfu.

You can do it with a full tank just park it at a pretty level area.

I hear you have to re-solder the cluster board
Yes, check online for gauge cluster problems on these models. Bad solder can cause a number of issues, like fuel gauge, odometer, turn signals, etc..
Have any idea mine its showing more
like if I have 1/4 or half tank it shows 3/4 tank or more by time it goes down where it should be
I cleaned both side and change the gauge with the pump
I'm having that similar problem with mine did you fix yours , mine will say I have gas then run out while driving

anything hydrophobic and a solvent is good....really water even be ok maybe especially you dry it bc youre gonna put it right back in gas right? but be good and use solvent and qtip or somethin :)
skip to 5:32 for a good time
2013 g37 here. Did you use cologne to clean it? Lol
Hey is the gauge still working for you? I heard overtime it gets bad again from a different problem
Working great so far. Maybe if it's how good you clean it, could matters how long it lasts.
Just Vlad yea just did it yesterday, worked till today then stopped, now it’s doing the same thing :( you think it’s the cluster?
Just Vlad but I noticed that the thing is swipes up and down on the thing you clean with the q tip makes it dirty, when it was moving up and down it was putting dirt down
whats the resistance values of max and min?

Do i have to disconnect the battery when doing this?
It would be advised to do so.
My fuel gauge is always stuck on Full. I have the check engine light & the code reads to change fuel level sensor & it suggests changing the sending unit. I changed the fuel pump since it came out more convenient than just buying the sensor but the fuel gauge still doesn’t work. Do you think the sending unit is the problem for me?
I have the same problem on my 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan. Fuel gadge is stuck at Full and I replaced both fuel pumps on the driver side and passenger side in the back. Any luck on fixing your problem?
EndouserBot What fuel pump did you use? I'm having a hard time finding something for the exact same model.
Same issue, any help?
probably AC Amp module
You have roosters bro
Would this procedure work the same on an 05?
Coby Hester I have an 06, same fuel gauge issue except now I have a code p0462 which says fuel sensor circuit. I'd asume they are a little different to the 08. However I wonder if the sensor has anything to do with how the fuel pump works.
MrWati25 oh okay. Hmm that’s interesting. I haven’t tried this out yet but I don’t have check engine light on for anything fuel related. But also when I do this I’m going to go ahead and replace the fuel pump while I got it open.
Ok, so I just checked it out and went to clean like the video showed. I didn't have to take the whole pump out, I was able to access the little connection on the pump side as it didn't have a protective cover on it nor did it have the mount for one so it was easy, it was in fact dirty and contacts covered in gray crud. Then I did the same on the other side which did have the protective cover on it however I was able to clean with a Qtip through the rather large front opening. That side was also dirty. I leak checked and closed everything up. The gauge seemed more responsive immediately and I hooked up my code reader and deleted the code. Hopefully this was my solution. So yea ours are a little easier access than the 08. I say go for it. Took me less than an hour.
MrWati25 Did the code return?
Marlon McIntosh No it did not. However the range of motion on the gas gauge is limited. It detects levels now just not at the right place. I don't know if I have to disconnect the battery and connect again or something actually wrong with the sender itself. The code never returned tho.
does anyone know if i can use a 07-08 fuel pump (like the one he put a link too) on a 2005 g35 sedan?
No can't
@@howboutthis2110 lol bro i already sold that car a year ago and got a truck 😂 But thanks for the reply!
LoL fosho but for stuff like that it would fit but the amount of fuel the pump can supply will be different for a coupe n sedan
Lol my dude had no gas and blamed it on the censor,
Bro if this works for me I’ll cash app you!! 😂😂
Would a fuel system cleaner clean this without having to remove it?
I have that issue in 05 altima will this work
bro let me know if it work cause Ihave an 06 altima thx
@@victorarambula6951 Can't say for sure but they're both built by Nissan. Wouldn't surprise me if these parts are interchangeable within the same years, or at least, the same designs and sensor manufacturers were used. I'd bet money that the fix is exactly the same.
2 bottles of Techron later 😂
Did this resolve the issue?
Yes, once I cleaned both sensors, the fuel Guage started working perfect.
Was your Infiniti throwing a code or no? My Infiniti fuel gauge is inaccurate but it was saying a fuel circuit sensor..
There was no code for me, just fuel gauge not working.
Did it throw a code for you? I have a fuel level sensor code. Did you try this method and if so.. did it work ?
Karman Singh Same here - P0462, I dont want to buy Anything until I figure out wtf it is 😩
Hey are you still having the same issue?
Since I cleaned both sensors, the gauge has Ben working perfectly.
Ok cool, I have finally fixed mine, the problem was the A/c amp behind the radio changed it and all the gauge are working fine now
I have the same problem with my 2009 g37, brought the car to the dealer and they told me to change both which I did and my gas gauge is not going under 3/4 of a tank so now i have to use the km to figure out when I will be empty. this shit doesn't make any sens??
any recommendation? tks in advance
flipmode00 squad only other thing could be is the gauge but that's a lot harder to figure out. Cleaning my sender units fixed it and works perfectly now. Hope you can figure it out and if you do, let us know what it was. Thanks
I read that I may have to solder the gauge part on the cluster something I do not want to do or send it for repair which will cost $200 I think. But once its fix I will let you know.
Not sure about the 09, but on the older G35's you can do a self test of the gauge. It would move the fuel and temp gauges to the middle. If the needles did not go to the middle then that meant your gauge was broken. Try searching for combination meter self test.
Steven Coffey I posted a video about the self test and everything works fine but still don't know why its acting up. Plus I switch the gauge to an 2010 one and it was fine too. Its mind blowing
Nice vids but lets be rational. It's expensive to fix, but how many years do u get buying new sending units compared to how much time inbetween cleaning an old one that may just crap out on you?? Save your money to maintain these cars period. Stop modding cars when u making Hella high payments. Rich stay rich by acting poor and the poor stay broke by trying to look rich waketfu.
