2K Max Gas Gauge Question

2K Max Gas Gauge Question
Hey,
I was recently looking at some pics of other max's and I was looking at some dash pics and I noticed that all of their gas gauges read E. On my 2000 max, my gas gauge does not drop to E when i turn the car off, it just stays at the same level it was at while the car was running...... I always wondered why it never dropped like every other car Ive ever been in, it just never really bothered me until now. Does anyone know why my gas gauge doesnt drop to E???? Im just curious to see if anyone knows why this is. This is what my gauges look like when my cars off:
Thanks.

i have a 2k GLE and my fuel gauge did the same thing when the car was off. However, i just switched the gauges to a 2K SE and all i did was change out each piece individually keeping the main part of the cluster, and now my fuel drops back down to E when the car is off.

My '03 goes to E when the car is turned off. Funny thing about my fuel guage is that, it seems to be misaligned. When my Max has 1/2 a tank of fuel left, you would assume that the needle would point at the 3 o'clock position (as if on a clock). But, it points between 3 & 4 o'clock. Also, when I fill my tank up to full, the fuel guage goes above the F mark. Weird

Thanks James that was a ton of help , but actually you might be right since you have a 00 too but urs is 5 speed and yours drops to E....... lol
Anyone else with a 2K, what does your gas gauge do?

I have found that the cars with gas gauges that dont go down to "E" when turned off also have and "air bag" light.
The cars with gas gauges that do go down to "E" with the car off have an air bag light that is a picture of an air bag going off in someones face.
