Owner of a 2016 LX Fit here. I thought I noticed this happen once or twice last winter, but it didn't happen again. I noticed it being more of an issue this morning, at 97,XXX miles, on a 7 degree Minnesota winter morning. I take it no one has gotten relief from Honda? I really can't afford a $1,000+ repair. Uhg.

Here is your fix if you can or want to do it yourself and if not you can these folks a shout.

Send it AR speedometer and gauge. They can now repair the Fit 15 - 19 fuel gauge screen. The cost is $150. Give them a call at 918 8353300 and ask for Devon.

Good luck and keep us posted on how it works out.

I have zero skills on repairing a vehicle, and don’t have tools, either, so I won’t be able to. Where is AR speedometer and gauge located? I live in northern Minnesota.

It appears they are in Northeast Oklahoma. Give them a call it can't hurt. If not, see if you have any friends or family members that have the skills to assist you.

Fixed mine thanks to the DIY. Nice to not have the most important gauge unreadable all the time!

Sorry to say, same issue on my 2020 Fit!

Hi all,
This thread has been very helpful; thank you. My 2020 Fit has only 7,300 miles but is six months out of warranty. The dealership wants a $160 diagnostic fee just to look at it. Based on advice here, I’ll contact Honda corporate this week. It’s discouraging, however, to see that the problem still exists in some 2020 models and that Honda still apparently hasn’t stepped up.

My fuel gauge frequently goes out on my 2015 Fit. I'll make a fist and slam it down on top of the dashboard, above the fuel gauge. Works great. I've done this many times. I'm not joking. It's a lose connection somewhere, and pounding down on top rattles it enough to make it work. Cheaper than taking it to the dealer. Good luck

There are a few videos on Youtube on the subject. You just need a soldering iron and a little solder to fix this issue. About 2 hours of labor, mostly to remove the instrument panel.

The loose connection is the bad solder joints.

Let's go! Mine just went out, I'm around 110,000 on a 2015 EX.

"Glitchy Digital Display".

I'm at 112,700 miles.

My digital display is getting "Glitchy" too.

I'm going to get a new digital display installed by my Honda Dealer this summer.

Apparently according to my Honda Dealer this issue is happening on HRV's too.

If I can't DIY this myself, I would rather take it to a TV repairman, show him the youtube video on how to do it, and he would probably charge me a lot less to just re-solder the joints than what they dealer would to replace it with a new cluster.

Sure they do, there is one like 3 miles from my house. I had to call them up last week for a power cable for my TV and they had one laying around.
