Seat Arona Fuel Gauge Issue

I'm having issues with my 2017 Seat Arona, gasoline engine. The check engine light is on, and the engine sometimes stalls at idle. Scanning shows a fault with the fuel level sensor. I suspect a defective fuse. Has anyone encountered similar car electronics issues, specifically with the fuel gauge or level sensor?

I had a similar issue with my Opel Corsa. The fuel gauge was all over the place. Did you check the wiring harness leading to the fuel tank? It could be a loose connection.

That's interesting. Where exactly on the fuel tank is the wiring harness located? I'm not entirely familiar with the Arona's fuel tank assembly, and I want to check the correct connection.

On the Corsa, it was accessible from underneath the car, near the rear axle, where the fuel tank is. However, given the error codes, I'm now leaning towards a faulty sensor. It might be worth getting it checked by a workshop; they can pinpoint the exact cause.

Closing the loop, it was a defective fuse, as I thought. Replaced it, and the fuel gauge now works. Total cost: 52€ for the fuse and diagnostic. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
