dead battery has interesting side effect
Hi all, On my v-10 E-450 the starter battery died. As a side result--even when boosted the gas gauge read ZERO fuel and the low fuel led was lite. It was totally full of gas. How peculiar!

Don is that a digital dash,
If so that is controlled by the engine cpu, and I suspect it will only be corrected when the engine battery is at sufficient voltage, the zero state of the fuel gauge etc. Is possibly the normal state when there is power but no command data to display, the stored data is probably in protected mode, and will be displayed once the CPU is satisfied battery status and power requirements are met, this is just conjecture on my part, but seems totally logical to me
