What may be the reason my 1997 Buick LeSabre fuel gauge stays on empty, no reaction?

Asked by elvisonstage Nov 12, 2016 at 05:18 PM about the 1997 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just had my fuel pump replaced (it stayed on FULL, meaning fuel pump
issue) and NOW it does not move from EMPTY.  The fuel gauge is no longer
responding.  The negative side of the battery was NOT disconnected while
the fuel pump was changed out. Could this be a fuse and which fuse/relay
and which location may this be please?  Thank you!
