Fuel gauge empty, tank has gas, won't start. 2004 FLSTC/I

OK B1005 is "Fuel Level Sending Unit High/Open Instruments" with the U1016 "Loss of ICM/ECM Serial Data Instruments " indicating that there is an issue with the sending unit in the tank, has anyone been in the tank? Has the connector on the tank under the console been connected? Both codes will be thrown if the connector is not connected and the fuel pump will not run. That connector goes to the fuel pump and the sending unit.

Where can I get a list of the codes? All the lists I've seen didn't have the codes I listed.
I don't think the tank was ever touched and all the connectors are connected.
Im guessing I need to get to the sending unit in the tank and also learn what that is, is this correct?

It's good to know there's meaning to these codes that popped up.

Okay,
My apologizes for not getting back with this. It's been a crazy week for me and I'm just getting the time to get back into this project.
This is is what's happening.
I opened the cover up on the top of the tank.
When I do this the fuel gauge works and the gas warning light goes off.
When I remount the cover (that seems to be difficult to get in place without forcing it) it stops working again. Right now I'm attempting to remove the fuel pump and take a look at what's going on in there. Seems to be some corrosion going on.

Not cheap at all. Dealers were quoting me over 700.00 to replace everything and on top of that it's all on back order so I couldn't get one if I wanted to.
The good news. One showed up yesterday on eBay out of a 2004 fat boy for 200.00. According to ronnies parts list, everything is the same so that is being shipped out today. I couldn't be happier about that.
Got the tank cleaned out. I still need to change out all the fluids. I'm sure I'll find more that needs to be replaced before I'm done.
This is going to be a fun bike when all is done. I'm cleaning it up for my wife but I think I'll have to take it around the block a couple of times just to make sure everything is okay.
