Default Fuel gage inop

05 FatBoy injected

The fuel gage reads full all the time. Low fuel light appears to work.
Loose wire? Bad ground? Something common that I can find easily?

Common issue. Likely stuck float... do a search on this forum and you'll find the fix... or you will get lucky and it will free itself. Lesson: Use Trip Odometer not the gauge.
