Fuel gauge problems
For you regulars, this has probably already been covered, but any help is greatly appreciated.
I have been having continual fuel gauge problems for about 20,000 miles. The fuel gauge just drops to zero, no matter what is in the tank, totally random. I have had it in three times to 2 different local Ford dealers, still no fix. They gave me 2 bottles of Techron, kind of helped for a while, and recently replaced the tank sensor (I think that is what they replaced). Still no go, it is frustrating and a real problem, you always have to have the trip odometer current, sometimes it will read empty for long periods.
I don't think there are any recalls or bulletins out on this, but I find it hard to believe I am the only person dealing with this. I want it fixed, and don't want to pay another $50 co-pay (I have an extended warranty to 75Kmiles, with 68,000 currently on my '03).
Thoughts, ideas, advice?
Thanks again for any help...
