This is a write up on how to fix your idiot light for the gas gauge. Make sure your light bulb is in working order and wires on the fuel pump assy are not disconnected and corroded. I removed my new sensor from a 2003 maxima. I wanted a sensor that was the newest in the junkyard. I let my gas get down to the last 2.5 gallons and the idiot light came on today. That hasn't happend in so many years.
