Default Familiar Starting Problem

As experienced by other members, my 2006 Ltd Convertible stopped dead (as if out of gas)even though there was fuel. The dealer went through the "sell parts" routine and replaced the fuel sending unit (didn't help), then replaced the engine control module (sensor) and the car runs fine but now the gas gauge doesn't work. The dealer wants to replace the dashboard cluster. I said no. I don't want to have the dashboard torn apart just to pay for another expensive part.

Here are my guesses but, I will greatly appreciate any input or suggestions:

1) Maybe the programming was not done right when they did the work on the fuel system.

2) Other posts have said installing updated parts in the fuel system causes issues unless you replace fuel pump, fuel lines, etc.

3) Dealer says the module is sending signal to the gauge, but he gauge is not receiving -- but I know from other posts that Crossfire gas gauge problems are not uncommon, maybe it's unrelated to the work they've done.

Thanks for any help.
