Hey guys. Took my cluster out last night, put it back in. Fuelled up this morning, and its not moving from the below empty spot. Dodgy connector at the rear? Possible boned fuel sender? I noticed that after I refuelled my range to empty returned to normal (590km)

Had this problem years back on the TF, changed the backlights in the cluster. Put it all back together and had nothing but trouble
with the fuel guage after that. Took it out again, put in again, never the same. Dont know what it could be, to co-incidental to be
the fuel sender unit if it just the dash we're messing with.

Sorry to be of no help, just thought I'd relate a little :)

Try taking the cluster out and putting it back in, may be a bad connection at the rear of it.. maybe check the connections to make sure all the pins are ok. If it only suddenly stopped I doubt it would be the fuel sender

Fuel senders tend to die gradually. It would be way too much of a coincidence to die suddenly as soon as you pull the cluster out. It has to be the cluster.

If the distance to empty is working then the trip computer is getting a signal of fuel level so it must be in the cluster
