Fuel Gage goes to full, even with car off?

[audiman27]

Hey everyone, My fuel gage is screwy. It reads pegged full most of the time, and when I shut off the car it will stay there. Sometimes it goes to half with the car off. The DTE digital remaining works great. I unplugged the sender and the gage didin't move. I did remove the plug behind the gage and put it back in, It went to zero and then back where it needed to be. It worked fine for a couple of days, then back to the screwy stuff. I'm thinking I have a bad instrument cluster. Any way the Vag-com could re-adapt it?
