Bumping this thread up as mine problem still continues no matter where I fill up (mostly shell/Exxon level stations). Has anyone found a permanent solution, gauge cluster, fuel sender?

What did you have changed though, I know it is under warranty, Baker has looked at mine but figured I would ask if a 100% solution was found so we are not playing cat & mouse with something the community has fixed.

x2.

Thought I had dodged this, but now I'm thinking I'll go get this done after all.

Just the fuel sender?

I got my 370z nismo about a month ago. First filled it up at a shell and didnt notice the problem. Then have been using only Cheveron gas since and have noticed the light not on after the last two fill ups. Car only has just over 15k on it and is a 2009. I'm going to take my car in soon for some other concerns I have, does this have anything to do with the display also reading the incorrect "Miles to go" gauge? After my last fill up it never went above 200 miles left in the tank and I put more than 16 gallons in.

Jordo! · 04-07-2011, 03:18 PM

It's intermittently doing it again... grrr.

i'm now on my third one including the org one.

/\/\ yep. just go in with a 1/4 tank for them, it's easier to drop the tank...

I have a similar problem related to this. When I top off the tank, all lights will light up. When fuel starts to be used up, the dots starting from the right will go off as normal. When the first 2 dots goes off, the next dot to go off would be the third LED. However, what's been happening the last few fillups is that the third and fourth LED will go out at the same time.

creellimit · 04-09-2011, 08:19 AM

Same thing happens intermittently to mine. I always top the tank off after the auto pump shut off. 3 different times, the last dot on the right didn't light up. Usually corrects itself after driving a while, then shutting off and restarting. Could be that the car isn't level when filling up?

Why worry about the top of the guage? It's the bottom, when it gets there, that needs attention.

Jordo! · 04-09-2011, 01:49 PM

Just curious, but how long does this repair take, and what are the odds of the problem happening again?
