A couple months ago, while parked another car collided with my car damaging both driver side doors. Since then it’s been repaired except the gas gauge reads completely full or completely empty regardless of how much is in the tank and the low fuel light blinks frequently. Can you point me to a solution?

 

Very possible some of the wiring was damaged during repair or the incident. Check under the vehicle left side as well as under floor sill plastics and pillars/similar and look for obvious damage. Once you tear that out and find what you need, run continuity tests on all relative wires. If no issue is found, check fuel sender for functionality. Cheers.

 

The fuel tank is below the driver and front passenger seats, very close to the impact area. The tank may have been distorted by the impact, or the fuel level sender could have broken free from the pump assembly. Access to the pump/sender/EVAP assembly is under the center console between the gear shift and parking brake lever.

 

Shouldn't insurance be paying for the cost of tracking down the problem and repairing it?

 

The accident happened in Mexico. It sat at the repair shop for two months. They did nothing so finally the Mexican insurance company paid me a check so the repairs are now on me
