Have you checked the 10A Gauge fuse? And the 15A ECU fuse? Does the cruise control light come on?

Swap with another fuse even if it looks fine. Or use a new one and see if it makes any difference.

it could be electrical in nature. you could also check ground points in cabin, there is like 5 or 7 of them all in dash area. one of them might be loose.

I doubt ECU has anything to do with fuel level and dash temperature gauge sender. ECU uses different sensor for monitoring the coolant temperature.

have you tried removing the instrument cluster from dash and checking plugs on the back?
