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.

You have been here since last year, I have been here since 2005 and both of your statements about updating the fuel pump, fuel lines as well as problems with the fuel sending unit are false. A few problems may have occurred with these parts but nothing like you say.
Is it possible that the plugs on the fuel sender are on the wrong way? That makes some sense to me.
One plug is for the level and another for the pressure.
