fuel gauge fault

[london_chris]

my fuel gauge is really annoyting me, i can fill up and once i get to half a tank the needle just drops right off the bottom of the gauge.
i understand this is a common fault, has anyone come up with a solution?
i have read that the track breaks down within the sender itself? anyone tried to repair or remake a pcb track?

Mine does this also, it dosent go up at all,

when i put ignition on you can see the needle actually go further down below red,
Still not managed to sort it

replacement sender, still available.

Still get them new but they are ££££.
Have you tried cleaning the contacts etc on yours?

[Scott_Rst]

I have a feeling that mine is dodgy earth related, tank will be dropped soon anyway!

Out of curiosity anyone know how much damage ford will charge for a new sender?
