The sender itself?

How hard can it be?.. IIRC there's 3 wires to the module.. GRD, FP power and sender. Which is a variable wire resistor and internally ends at ground.

I was needing it to trace the wiring back up to the instrument panel.

Thanks anyways.

I just dropped the tank and pulled out the sending unit itself.

Turns out the circuit board (inside the plastic box) has worn-out metal contacts on the variable resistor.

Anyone have a good used one For Sale ??

I went out and bought a Haynes manual this AM. The schematics in the back are puny!!

I have good eyesight, and I can hardly read the tiny diagrams!

On my '93 F150, I bought a new sending unit from the dealership. Wasn't too expensive, as I recall, although I don't have the reciept right in front of me. Is the Mustang unit so different? You shouldn't have to buy the whole pump assembly.

Best price I found (so far) for a new Sending Unit is $90.

There's gotta be a better price than this out there.....

I just purchased one for $60 from my ford dealership. I have my old one laying around still. It worked well for me but on random occasions my gas gauge would run all the way to the top and stay there for a couple of minutes then level back out. This happened maybe once a month. I would suggest purchasing new. You can try to parts department of

a local dealership to me in scottsdale arizona. They have a rep who deals with Internet orders - they always give me good deals on parts I need. If you want my old unit I can ship it to you for cost of shipping. Email me directly if interested at andybudwill_NOSPAM snipped-for-privacy@phorum.net. Of course remove _NOSPAM_ from the address.
