Smile Fuel Gage Fused?

Any ideas where I can find the fuel gage fuse... was working just fine and now is dead to the world. Where can I find the fuse? It isn't under the hood. Also to anyone who has had similar issues, does the tank need to be dropped to replace the sneding unit? Is it integral to the pump or a seperate unit. Any insight or links would be greatly appreciated.

Fuel pump is under the car, not in the tank. The tank is right behind the rear seat. You can get to it through the trunk, remove the rear panel.

Many Thanks Gull WIng

I did have the car in the air and putzed around with it... looks like all below is fine. I did manage to get the gages working intermittantly.... Seems like I have a bad conection. Going to pull the plug, clean all of the contact points and reassemble again... My thanks again for your input.

The fuel tank sender unit (reports on fuel level) is inside the fuel tank, but the tank does not have to be removed to inspect or replace the sender. Remove the carpet wall covering the fuel tank at the back of the trunk space by unhooking the corners and pulling the plastic plugs.

In the center of the top of the tank you will see the sender unit wiring plug. Remove the plug first and then turn the large "nut" that is the top of the sender unit. Pull the sender out of the tank when it is unthreaded. Installation is the opposite of removal.
