My fuel gauge is stuck on empty with the light on but it has plenty of gas. Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe resetting a fuse??

Hello,

It sounds like the sensor in the tank has gone bad. You may need to remove the tank to replace it. Here is a guide gram to help you get the job done.

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken
