This is a 2000. digital dash works fine but first run of the year and fuel gage doesn't work. Dash flashes low fuel. What's the problem? Anything common from one of you that works on these all the time? Tank unit?

Thanks,

I would guess this is just a sunk float in the tank. Thinks it is empty. Depends what kind of sending unit it has but that sounds like the place to start. Pull the sending unit and set it in some gas and see if the float "floats" so to speak.

It could have a brokenfloat or the reader is not working id take it out and look at it. cheak the build up in the tank and see that its not covering any main parts.or a loose wire.
