Ford Repair: Fuel Guage on a 1996 Ford Thunderbird, 1996 ford thunderbird, fuel guage


Question
The fuel guage on my 1996 Ford Thundernird does not seem to be working. It seems to be past the fuel mark and will not go towards empty. What is the problem? Could it be electrical? Can I repair it myself? About how much would it cost to repair this?

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
 It can be mechanical or electrical. As far as the price, I couldn't pin point. IF the fuel tank needs to come out, it can be costly. IF it is a simple wire repair, it won't cost as much as the tank being removed. There are several things that can cause this, your guess is as good as mine, so I can't say what the problem is. I would sugges that you bring it to a garage and have them look at it.
