Should fuel level gauge go to e when you turn the key off on a 1992 dodge Dakota?
No, the fuel gauge on a 1992 Dodge Dakota (or any car for that matter) should not go to "E" when you turn the key off. The gauge shows the fuel level *while the engine is running* and the gauge's electrical system is powered. When you turn the key off, the power to the gauge is cut off, and the needle will simply stay where it was before the power was interrupted. If it's moving to "E" when you shut off the ignition, that suggests a problem with the gauge itself, its wiring, or possibly a grounding issue.
