    I wonder if this has anything to do with it...

    Does your car have wiring that rodents think is tasty?

    That is hilarious (as long as it doesn't happen to me.)

    Well, not to laugh at someone's misfortune but that picture cracks me up.

    I'm also having this same problem, when I start the car the fuel gauge doesn't show or is blank. After a couple of minutes it just starts blinking... Using OBD scanner I'm getting these codes:
    -P0441
    - P0450
    -P0452
    -P0461
    P0463

    And honestly I don't know what to do first, is out of warranty and is a 2014 ...please someome can share some thoughts

    Hello facs2389 and welcome to the forum.

    Haved you checked your wiring harness? There is a connector located in the passenger compartment, left-hand side, outer wall near the front seat floorboard. It has a tendency to collect water, develop corrosion, and cause a multitude of problems.

    If I had the symptoms you are describing, this would be the first place I would check.

    Check the wiring under the rear seat going to the fuel pump and the two plug on the pump assembly. Looks like you have some sending unit and evap codes.
    I've had the wiring going to the purge or vent(I forgot which one) solenoid break at the bottom of the rear bumper cover and the solenoid itself break once too.

    Okay, I found my problem ��

    I'll give you more info about what I think could happen.. my car was imported from the USA and a normal practice is that before being sent they open the fuel tank to take the gas out of the car.. as far as we know so possibly they damaged the wires or something else ate them lolName:  IMG_20190924_200156.jpg
