Fuel Gauge Not Lighting All The Way UP
 

So the other day I filled up my tank and I noticed the last full light was not lit. I was cleaning the windshield so I though maybe the pump auto shut down to early and I didn't notice so I swiped my card again and topped it off. When I left the station the top light still was not on.

I'm going to give it a tank and see what happens next fill up. If it's not working I guess it's off to the dealer. I scanned the TSB list and didn't see one for fuel level sensors. Anyone else have this problem? I know the 350's have it after some age but I only have like 12k miles...

Yep same here, there was a thread while back about it but do not remember if there was a fix for it.

There are other threads about this issue. Check on there to read all about it.

BLUF: it's a common problem and It seems that getting it fixed won't stop it from happening again.

Fuel sender problem -- I've got it too. Still need to go to the dealer to have it taken care of.

Let me know what they replace exactly to fix the problem.
I had them do something, but it did nothing in the end.

Thanks for the responces guys. I guess I'll go anyway if it still happenes after the next tank. I guess the more of us that go the quicker they'll come up with a TSB that will be a long term fix. I'd be interested to know what they replace on your car too Jordo.

Will do :tiphat:

mine was the fuel sending unit, changed it and it's been good since, about 25k miles ago.

Mine has it also. The first fill after the first time I noticed it, it came good. However, it has now happened again.:confused:

So I filled it up again and same deal. Made an appointment at the dealer which happened last Monday and took it in. I was willing to bet they'd say it was a sending unit or level sensor problem. I figured that since the 350 had that issue and it seems unlikely a long lasting LED would go out.

They called me to tell me to come get the car a few hours later and they'd call me for a follow up appointment when the parts came. They ordered a whole new cluster under warranty...:confused: I guess it's the LED according to them, we shall see probably next week.

I had that happen once after a fill up. I started the Z and noticed that the last light was not on. I stalled the engine and re-started it, and the last light lit up. Hasn't happened since. I just wrote it off as some kind of "computer glitch."

When it happened the first time I noticed right away and shut it down and restarted and same deal. Since I was still at the gas station I even topped if off more (after the auto shut off on the pump) and it wasn't lit. Next fill up same deal, that when I went to the dealer.

Mines done this a few times as well. One of the first times I noticed it, I drove home, then when I left to go somewhere later that day, the last one came on so i didn't bother with it. But I think if it keeps doing this, I'll take it in sometime after the holidays.

mine does it sometimes too. just a weird glitch i guess.

Mine also got this problem,but switch off the engine,start it a 2nd time all the lights will lit,strange.!
