The fuel level sensor is located in the fuel tank and is mounted on the fuel "sender" assembly. This is the assembly that contains the fuel pump. The sensor comes as a unit with the attached float.
The sensor can be changed, separate from the fuel pump, but it may be a good idea to change the whole assembly while you are there IF you have had any problems with it. But you can save a little money by just changing the sensor.
You will have to drain and remove the fuel tank to get to the assembly.
Hi, It sounds like you have a fuel level sensor that is starting to go bad. This sensor is located in the fuel tank, and depending on the age of the van, will probably have to be replaced.
The sensor used for displaying the engine coolant temperature on the gauge in the dash is located near the thermostat housing. I have included a link that has pictures that show its location. Just click on the pictures to enlarge them. When you do, you can see the wires that go to the sensor. Good Luck, Greg
if you are refering to the sensor for the fuel gauge, it is in the fuel tank with the fuel pump.
THE temp sending unit 4 the inside gauge usally has 1 wire & the sending unit 4 the Computer has 2 wires.
Hi, Probably 95% of the time, or more, the problem with a fuel gauge not reading correctly is the fuel level sensor. This sensor is located in the fuel tank and that tank will have to be drained and dropped to get to the sensor. Sorry about that. Good Luck
The coolant fan sensor is the same as the sensor that shows the coolant temperature on the dash gauge. It is located on the intake manifold.
My fuel gauge, odometer and radiator gauge isn't working and my radio says locked. How can I fix this?
The fuel gauge sensor is located in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge sensor and fuel pump are one assembly. To my knowledge they are sold as one unit and is fairly expensive. The fuel tank must be dropped to R&R the assembly.
Top rear of the engine next to the distributor.
The sensor for the temp gauge in the 96 S10 4.3L would be the sensor located between #3 and #5 spark plugs, it has one wire plugged to it. The temp sensor for the ECM is located next to the thermostat housing, it has two wires plugged to it.
sticking float on the fuel pump, or malfunction in the float
There is'nt one on the guage cluster but there is on the motor up by the thermostat housing
