    Good morning,
    Just had the combination meter replaced, a new main battery installed and now every so often the fuel gauge will flash. (all the pips). Not every start but often. 2005 115,000 miles. Any suggestions appreciated. AND, if it's a costly repair, can I still use the car without worry of it entirely shutting down? (just use it for local tasks and love it!) Thanks for any advice, confidence it's not gonna stop in the middle of the highway! :)
