Fuel Level Gauge Dependent on Map Lights???

[Chiefshb]

Hey all. I've gotten some good info in the past, so I figured I come here with this issue.

I got some LEDs to put in the map lights and when I put the first one in, I lost all interior lights and the fuel gauge. I checked all the fuses (didn't know which one it was) and they are all good from what I could see. I was sorta rushed for time, so I'll look again when I have more time.

My real concern is the fuel gauge. I know I have a full tank of gas, but when the lights went out, it dropped as far flat as it could and registered "low fuel". I let it run for awhile to make sure the fuel pump was still working and it never quit, so I assume it's fine.

Has anyone else had this issue? Am I to assume that when I get the lights working, the gauge will work as well?

Thanks for any info.

For anyone interested...the gas gauge IS tied to the interior lights. Finally able to get a new fuse and all is well. Had to turn truck off and back on to get gas gauge to work again.
