Check all fuses. The gauge sending unit/pump have known issues. Cracking, leaks and failure. It sits on the top of the tank so it is a PITA to get to. I find that it would be strange to not get any codes? Instrument cluster failures are more uncommon these days but have been known to happen. The individual gauge unit may have had a failure. The tiny drive units can be replaced in these gauges if you do some research and can find a supplier. You have to be somewhat mechanicaly inclined and dealers will not do it. It is possible to find a replacement cluste if this is the issue and you want to do a swap out but it will have to be recalibrated.

The sending units on these vehicle has been a continual problem. Mostly if your vehicle has a history of being in a corrosive environment. Corrosion eats away at the unit as it sits on the top of the tank. It is attached to the the fuel pump and is a big job to replace unless you have access to a lift.
