wiring connectors and harnesses are still wet giving you ghost electrical problems. unplug connectors and spray them with moisture removers like WD40 and pack suspected/involved connectors with petroleum jelly (vaseline) to prevent recurrence. lancer is mirage in the u.s. right?

i'm not sure with respect to the american market. but as far as i know, it is called mirage in other countries.

will give you the connector, wire insulation color code, and test procedure once i get to the software.

beerio,
there is a connector D11 with a yellow insulated wire at the left rear passenger foot well adjacent to and in front of the floor riser the rear seat is sitting on. the wire insulation to the fuel gauge sending unit are yellow and the ground side is black. disconnect the D11 connector and the conncetor to the instrument panel B12 or disconnect all connectors to the I/P to check if this yellow sending unit wire is grounded

Mirage hatch back 2013 automatic. Nagpafull tank ako tapos nagbyahe ako almost 60km and nagtaka ako pagdating ko sa bahay hindi nabawasan yung bar ng gasulina? Sira ba ito? Kasi before ako magpakarga ng gasulina half then nagfull naman yung guage. And now hindi pa din bumababa yung gauge.

i don't mirage, but
if you filled it to the brim of the filler tube, or beyond your tank's capacity, it may take some driving, for the fuel tank float / sensor, to float down low enough so as to make a difference in your fuel gauge.
you over-filled, po, and you will have to use up more fuel for the gauge to move.

start worrying, if you had already driven 200 km and the gauge hasn't moved, yet.
heh heh.
