more than likely it's the fuel sending unit in the tank, you can try cleaning it, sometimes that press on lock washer get loose too. Just be careful if ya clean, those little fingers can break real easy. It's about 50/50 if the cleaning will work or not. Mine after cleaning lasted about a month, new one lasted 4 months. I put a 50 ohm resistor in the connector to stop the blinking light, now it always shows 3/4 tank. that blinking can drive ya crazy at night I just keep an eye on my trip meter, I know how far I can go on a full tank.

I've change fuel sensor twice on my 06. I just started keeping up with miles on my odometer as to when to fill up and no problem so far.

My gas tank was replaced after an accident and now the low warning light does not work and the gauge doesn't show full when I fill the tank. Is there something missing since it's a new tank or is it something that can be corrected?

Did you use the sender from the damaged tank or did you replace it with a new one?

I just replaced mine on an '06, I got it from one of the guys on here. I just got back from a test spin to make sure it worked. I got gas now.
