Title: Fuel guage works occasionally
Post by: Dave F on October 16, 2009, 02:18:18 AM
My fuel guage sometimes goes to E for a few miles, then randomly goes back to normal. Been doing this off and on for a few months.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

The sending unit in the fuel tank is probably either getting stuck, or malfunctioning.  You can probably take a metal rod or cloths hanger and move the float arm up and down through the main fill point and make sure it is moving freely.  I have had to poke at mine before to free it up.

Prob. just a worn sender. You can try pulling all the plugs on the harness, and spraying silicone into the contacts.

the fuel sending unit was my problem. I took it in before the two year warranty was up only to find out the electronics are only covered for 1 1/2 years?  ::)  Not covered by warranty!
