Fuel gauge still says empty

Hi Gang,
On my '02 X5 3.0L the fuel gauge says empty and the out-of-gas light is on.
I read a lot of threads and based on that I replaced the left fuel level sender.
With the new one in, the gauge is still on "E". I took the pump/sender assembly out and check the resistance and it runs from 40 - 600 ohms with movement of the float arm, so I conclude it's okay.

Anyone know what else this could be?

Thanks!

Nevermind. Put everything back together, turned on the key and YaHOO...3/4 full.
