Gas Needle For The Fuel Gauge Stuck Below E !!!

I'm having a couple issues with my fuel gauge. The needle is stuck below E and the Gas light is on beneath it. It's been like this for about 2 weeks now and I've been ignoring it. Everytime I put gas in thr car, the needle stay stuck. Everyother Gauge in the car work except the Gas needle. Any ideas on what's wrong or how to fix this ?

P.S the gas mileage thing in the after the Trip Computer that tells how much miles is left for the amount of gas also reads --- so i have no idea how much gas is in my Car

There is a way to do a test on the gauges where they will all sweep and run. It might be a problem with the cluster itself or a problem with the fuel level sensor in the gas tank, and that makes more sense to since your trip computer has no idea of how much fuel is left.

Do a search for gauge sweep and you can find the diagnostics. I'll look through my service manual and see if there's anything that can help diagnose it.

and the test procedure it outlines in step 1 requires HDS so its useless to post here, but here is the test it says in the step 3:
