Fuel gauge gets it's power the same place as everything else in the cluster, so it won't be a blown fuse if the other gauges work.
The gauge is activated by a vari-resister in the fuel tank, it allows ground on the wht/green wire.
The most common reason that they stop working is either a bad sender, a bad ground (the fuel tank Black wire), or on the back of the cluster either corrosion on the conductive screws or a cold solder joint.
Mine (and my tach) on my vert went intermittent a couple months back when it got cold. I just removed all the screws on the back of the cluster board (one at a time) and put a little conductive grease on each end of the screw and put them back in and it hasn't had a problem since.

I'll check for the ground wire to see what happens. Hey My a/c works but the defrost and other buttons don't do a thing. The fan can be graduated to all levels but the defog and the one for the feet and so on do not do a thing. Just the recirc and a/c buttons work. Do I need to buy the whole ******* thing?
