Hi. The fuel gauge in my Seadoo XP 2000 does not work. I think it happened after replacing battery or filling up the tank.
 
Try testing the fuel baffle in the tank first, that's usually what it is. Getting to the baffle is pretty easy.

Take the four hex screws out from under the back of the seat, under the grab bar. Loosen the clamp on the yellow boot and hold it down and loosen the clamp on the black boot and push it down. Be careful with the clamp on the black boot cause it will want to slide all the way down and it's a B to get it back up. There is a bolt that hold your seat down and you can use a 17mm wrench and 17mm deepwell socket to take that off.

Open the front storage compartment and take off your gas cap. The whole seat will tilt up. Put a broom handle there to hold it up while you work. There is a big black cap on the hull under the seat that you can pop off., and wha la, there is the fuel baffle.

Remove the fuel baffle from the tank. Make sure you mark the fuel lines so you put them back on right. Take a multimeter and set it to ohms. Check the resistance while tipping the baffle back and forth slowly letting the float move up and down.
 
I have a challenger 2000 and the gas guage does not work. We found a blown mini fuse on the sender and removed it and put some solder across it and when the unit is out of the tank the guage reads when you tilt the unit and let the float slide up and down the tube but when you put it in the tank it does not work. With a meter it reads resistance when u tilt it and when we put it in a tank of water it reads. We are baffled. Any ideas?
