Broken Fuel Gauge/Window Button

Hey guys just a quick question regarding the front dash fuel gauge,
anyone know if the fuel gauge reads at empty with the empty fuel light on if its something to do with a spark plug or what and how much I would need to do/pay to get it fixed,


Also, my rear left window button started to not work but after pressing it up and down a couple times a spring popped out literally in the middle of the button coming out of a hole the size of 2 pinheads side by side... *Really a WTF how can this happen kinda thing*

thanks in advance. =]

First part: What? The spark plugs have nothing at all to do with the fuel gauge. In any way. At all. Beyond that, you didn't really explain the problem so I can't offer any advice.

Second part: That's odd. Sounds like the switch just flat out busted. Are you still under warranty?

oh well sorry for not explaining but
for the fuel gauge,

I could fill my tank and top it off and the fuel gauge would still be at zero,
the only way I am observing how much fuel I have left is resetting my trip meter and filling it up at every 200-250 miles just to be safe... hope that explains it.

Okay, so the fuel level sending unit might be gone. There is a float in the tank that could have malfunctioned, but first things first, what model year, mileage, etc etc.

I'd check the fuel level sensor. It is messy to do, with fuel going everywhere even if you do pull the fuel pump fuse and run the engine until it dies.
