Turn the car on and the fuel gauge works as it should.
After a minute or two, it goes to empty. I am told it is the fuel sender. The sender is internal to the tank with the pump AFAIK. Do you have to remove the tank, or just get access to it, and pull out the sender? Would it take long to do? Is this the right part: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FALC...1#ht_890wt_952 |

Going back in the memory banks for AU so not 100% sure
Dont need to remove tank, sender is the float bit in the picture Access via the boot. A glued (or screwed) on metal plate then remove giant hose clamp type thing and turn the securing ring, special tool or 2 screwdriverswith a third between them. The float is a rheostat type thing with brushes, they wear out and it gets funny readings, sometimes you can bend the contacts together better so contact is kept. |

If you bought that, I would take it to an Auto Elect and get him to check it, better than putting it in and finding it is no good.

If I were you I'd remove and then bridge the sender wires at the plug (NOT THE FUEL PUMP WIRES!!!) to see if the gauge responds to those two extremes.
If ur in melb I have a new pump/sender assembly (sedan) that you can have for nothing. Well, it did a few months work before I upgraded to a Walbro pump. I'm in the South East. Is it a wagon or sedan? |
