Default help with gas needle

so the needle that marks how much gas u have is on the fritz.
i put 20 bucks of gas just 3 days ago in my car and it marks empty of course the light or code doesnt come on because it isnt but does anyone know how i can fix this problem?

can i just change the gauge cluster or is it more complex than that any help is greatly appreciated.

did you expletive with the cluster before???If you play around with the gas needle you will mess it up. If not it probably die or something else.

if u hit a corner 2 fast, the little register pump thing will flip the wrong side up (it's inside your gas tank) and it will show you've got nothing in ur tank. Just whip around a few corners and it will right itself.. happened to my friend's accord once.
