Kinda sounds like a pre-existing condition with the speedO Can you ship it back and get a new 1?..... I don't know how to check it?

Well finally figured out what the deal is with the light.
I pulled the codes and it had a code = B1005 for the fuel level sending unit...
I guess is going to need a new sensor....
