How to Restore the Fuel Level on the Ram 1500

Model: RAM 1500 DM, D1, DH, DC, MK 3, DR - Years 2002-2009
Part: Dashboard

On this vehicle, the fuel level gauge in the tank is analog and may provide incorrect readings. Fortunately, the solution to this problem does not require an expensive or invasive intervention and can be easily performed using the car's controls. First, ensure the engine is off, then insert the key and turn on the ignition. At the same time, press and hold the small button located between the fuel gauge and the tachometer. Wait for all the needles to return to the "zero" position and release the button. The reset is complete, and the gauge will now display the correct amount of fuel.
