look at the sender unit, its on the drivers side attached to the side of the motor , usually the connector gets dirty so take it off, clean it with some electrical cleaner and put it back on

Cleaning did not work for me. New Mazda ones are about $80. Probably your best option if cleaning does not work.

Open the manual and troubleshoot it yourself - this is an easy one
