How do I replace the Fuel Gauge Sensor in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix?
ProTech:
You have to remove the gas tank and fuel pump assembly to replace the fuel level sensor.
I can get to the fuel pump w/out dropping the fuel tank.. Can I do it that way?
Do you mean through the access hole in the trunk?
Yes. I have read that there is one of those on this Pontiac.
You can yes, although it is a tight squeeze. Place some towels around the opening because gas will spill as you remove it and you don’t want it staining or smelling up your car. There are several 10mm bolts that hold the cover on. Then you can remove the fuel pump assembly to replace the fuel level sender.
Thank you very much.
No problem.

Tengo un Pontiac Gran Prix del 95 dos puertas 6 cilindro …Puedo sacar la bomba de gasolina sin tener que bajar el tanque?
Yes, fuel sensor sits on top of the fuel pump, pull back the carpet, and unscrew the small bolts out of the fuel pump cover plate, carefully lift it off and you will see the top of the fuel pump. It will probably be covered with dirt or dust, vacuum it off, and then slowly and carefully rock the sensor, which is black in color, out of the pump canister , and pull up, remove the electrical connector and replace it. Then reverse install.
It is easy and you can do it in about 25 minutes.
En un 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix debe quitar el tanque de gasolina del coche para reemplazar la bomba de combustible. En algunos años más recientes de ese modelo, hay una trampilla en el maletero con el acceso a la bomba de combustible y no tendría que quitar el tanque.
