1991 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

I had an older Ford that this happened to me; both the Temp and Gas gauge went full scale. 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

Had to replace my sending unit due to rust. The connector fell apart due to exposure to gas fumes.
