    Fuel level indicator stuck at Empty

    Sooo.. got low fuel warning, by the time I pulled in to a gas station the miles to go was reading Zero. Filled up, but now the indicator still sits at empty (completely to the left). miles to go stuck on zero. and fuel warning comes one they minute I put it in drive.

    Is this level sensor issue or a fuse?

    thanks.

    Something similar was happening to mine: I filled up once but gauge only showed half-full. I did some kind of reset trick by pulling some fuses (maybe fuel pump and cluster?) then turn car on (not start) turn car off, and put fuses back in. It's been fine since then, but just in case, I still reset my trip odometer at the gas station and try to go less than 200 miles between fill-ups.
