Have you tried turning it off and back on? Seriously though, this has happened to me a few times and when I restart the truck it works again. My batteries were pretty weak and I replaced them shortly after and I never had the issue again.

Thanks for the reply Twitch, good to have you back, I did try to shut it off and start it again with no change a couple or times I will try it again tomorrow, and I might disconnect the battery and try that. I recently did a front end rebuild and the battery did drain down from the doors and rear gate being open while working and needed a jump.

Still messing with the fuel gauge which is working intermittently now, today I noticed that the lie-o-meter/ compass is out Anybody know what fuse # covers it? Couldn’t find it in the manual. Thanks.

I'd say it's probably time for a sending unit in the tank?

Mine was dim, I re-flowed all the solder points on the through hole, and surface mount components. Good as new...
