Where is the fuel level sensor on a 1998 Durango?

Answer 1

This applies to 2000-2003 Durangos, I believe it's the same on a 1998 but not positive. The fuel level sending unit is part of the fuel pump module. It is the part that has an electrical connector attached to it. It can be removed by opening the locking tabs and sliding it free of the module. This repair is somewhat complicated. If you want to attempt it yourself, I highly suggest you pick up a Chiltons or Haynes Repair Manual applicable to your vehicle at your local parts store. It contains detailed explanations, diagrams, and pictures for many repairs as well as a wealth of general information. On the 99 Durango, it's also part of the fuel pump. Mine was really easy to replace. Just have as little gas in the tank as possible, disconnect the two tubes from the rear of the fuel tank (which is plastic, nice!) Then remove the two bolts that are holding the straps that run under the tank (straps are steel) while holding the tank up with a floor jack. when the straps are out of the way, slowly lower the tank. There should be enough slack in the wires leading to the pump connector (and fuel line) to slide the tank almost all the way out from under the truck. Turn the retainer counter clockwise (I think) and it comes off and the pump lifts right out. Good Luck!
