Honda Pilot EXL 194445 miles automatic
Mechanic cannot find cause for sticking gauge. The sending unit has been replaced, but that made no difference. The fuel pump was removed and manually tested after the sending unit was replaced. The fuel gauge responds properly to the sending unit position, but the gauge remains on full.

then he's not a mechanic. Find another one.

I don't understand how a gauge can be both responsive and stuck, at the same time.
I actually took it to a highly reputable car repair service that has been in business for more than 50 years.
Perhaps I should clarify my wording. When tested in the shop, the gauge responds. When I take it out and drive it, the gauge remains on full.

Look for a short circuit in the wiring from the sending unit to the gauge, or the module driving the gauge. Typically shorting the signal wire to ground results in a full fuel gauge reading.
Thank you, but that's been done. Any other ideas? The repair shop working on it has been around a long time, but the folks there are stumped.
The only other thing I can think of is if there's a module between the sending unit and fuel gauge the module might be bad.
Thank you, Chuck. I've been asked to drive it 100 miles and then bring it back...
