Default The first led of the fuel gauge is gone

The first led of the fuel gauge is gone... Is there a easy/cheap fix for this? Whould it be a bad wiring issue or maybe a died led?


Look at the pics...






BTW, I think it's safer in order to avoid running out of fuel, 'cause, for example, when you everybody feel relaxed knowing there is one bar remaining, I get myself stressed wondering if there is one or there is none remaining...



Edit: Trying to fix my ingleesh.

turn the car off, sit and watch the display then turn the car back on, you will see that all the lights light up then 'scan' down all their values. basically he just took the pic when he switched the car on.

its kinda neat as some people have got 666 to come up

The led does not light when turning off/on the display.

I have to say the pic was taken at that speed and was intentionally selected to show the led fault... in a little spicey way...

While I note it's cool seeing you at 8k in 6th, I think it's important to get a clearer pic. De-spice the pic, I think that it's not supposed to be an led but a blank space between the first LED and the red mark on the dash for the fuel gauge.

Mine looks the exact same way. I just assumed it was intentionally left unlit, like the unlit led at the start of the tachometer.

This is normal. It's not unlit, there's just no LED back there.

completely normal - This caught my attention as well, however the car was ALWAYS like that, I just never noticed.

THe pictures in the brochure even show the gap.
