Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / July 20061991 Ford Explorer Gas Gauge stuck past FULL
Any one had any personal experience on this. I have read on some forums that it could be the sender or the plug near the tank/wiring. I was hoping for a easier fix than pulling the tank. Thanks, Mike > Any one had any personal experience on this. I have read on some > forums that it could be the sender or the plug near the tank/wiring.

Long story short there was a "Constant voltage regulator" on the back side of the instrument cluster that keeps the gauges from wild swings acting as a buffer. This may be what your problem is if the gauge circuit hasn't changed on the newer cars. Not a big job to replace, I think it took me 30 min. HTH, Rick Thanks Rick but the Temp gauge is ok so that might not be it. Thanks for responding. Mike >> Any one had any personal experience on this.

Thanks, Mike Had to replace my sending unit due to rust. The connector fell apart due to exposure to gas fumes. D |
