Make sure the pins are straight and that the connector is fully seated.

How is the gas gauge in the instrument cluster?

The gas gauge in the instrument cluster is the visual indication of activity in the fuel tank and sending unit. Some gas gauges are directly controlled by voltage feedback from the sending unit, while others are controlled by the instrument cluster, which itself gets voltage information from the sending unit.
