Fuel Gauge Problem

F250 04 model 6.0 Lariat Crew Cab. Fuel gauge fell to less than a quarter tank even though tank is full. Also have a problem with the overhead info center not being able to keep the compass function going. Constantly drops back into the calibration mode. Any ideas would be most welcome.

My father in law is having the same problem, fuel gauge drops to empty, then the thermometer in the overhead console starts reading wrong.

System has returned to normal with no action on my part. Might have been moisture at the tank connection but not sure. Overhead console works fine except for the compass function. It stays in the calibration mode all the time. Every once in a while it works but then goes back to calibration.
