9 out of 10 times its the sending unit gunked up from 25+ years of crud and just needs a good cleaning.
-
1. Remove the first aid kit and holder from rear deck. Look inside the opening and you will see a wire connector on top of the fuel sending unit.
2. To remove the unit with a REALLY big adjustable wrench. (I'm a proponent of the Ford wrench myself.) You can slip the wrench over the top to the partition from the trunk.
NOTE: The unit will take time to drain out. Be patient and have some rags on hand.
3. After removing the unit is easy to disassemble and clean. The float should move freely up and down the entire shaft it rides on. A clean rag and some brake cleaner should be all you need. Use caution as the inside of the unit contains think copper wires that must not be broken.
4. Test the operation of the gauge by connecting the sending unit in trunk area. the fuel gauge should read empty, and give the low fuel light. Invert unit and insert through first aid kit hole to test the full indication.
5. Reassemble and enjoy.
If this does not fix it feel free to message me for the full trouble shooting procedure.
Conolly Gage died in 1984.
gage is the best (kon )
Gage Hubbard was born on August 3, 1984, in Ogden, Utah, USA.
Gage Wolfe was born on July 9, 1984, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA.
it is located on the fuel gage
"R" on the fuel gage means "Reserve".
The fuel gauge sending unit is located inside the fuel tank.
it should say so on the fuel gage
why does the fuel gage on 2005 mustang don't work?
The fuel gages, the battery gage, the oil pressure gage, and the coolant gage are on the upper instrument cluster?
If it just the fuel gage then your sending unit is not working or their is a broke wire between the tank and the gage. If all your gages are not working check for a blwon fuse.
the fuel pump is located in the fuel cell. the sending unit for the gage & the fuel pump are on the same bracket.
