Reload this Page 1990 E-150 Fuel Gauge problem

Ford Econoline There's more to the Econoline's staying power than Ford simply sticking with a product that has been the No. 1-selling full-size van since 1980. The Econoline has received only minor changes over the years. The result is a cargo van that looks different, but is still very much the same. For many E-Series customers, that is the best news of all.

Default 1990 E-150 Fuel Gauge problem
Hi, the fuel gauge on this van, has stopped working, in just sits below empty.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be ? A bad wire, the gauge itself ? Is the gauge fused ? The rest of the dash and lights etc. are fine. If it is the gauge itself, how much nightmare is it to replace?

I'm pretty handy, I've replaced the starter, radiator, muffler and alternator on this van. Any help/advice would be a appreciated. Thanks

Hey, is it dual tank or single? if so i would just go over the whole thing check wires fuses and what not. my f-150 the guage would get stuck at 1/4 tank and the sending unit was biult into the tank along with the pump. but if it is in the gas tank the whole tank has to be dropped and replaced.
