This problem has been going on for a few years. The fuel gauge will read either full or drop to empty. I thought I had a float filled with gas, so I bought a new fuel pump and sending unit. If it matters the Bronco II is all original with 62,000 orig miles.
The problem is still there. I am getting tired of using the trip meter and want the gauge to work properly. I connected the original sending unit assembly today and tested the gauge and it reads full when the float is in the full position, but even if the float is let down just a little, like (1/4") the gauge drops to empty. It does the same with the new sending unit assembly. I am pretty sure it is a bad gauge, but before I take the dash apart I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something. If anyone has a new fuel gauge for sale please let me know. I guess I should also replace the gauge voltage limiter. Looking for and appreciate the help.
