Hi GUys Newbie here

I have an ST170 which im having a small issue with, the fuel gauge seems to be faulty as when it gets to between 1/4 tank tand the red markings my car runs out of fuel no light appears but i think thi sis due to it never getting low enough.

Has anybody had similar issues or know what to check for

Thanks

sorry forgot to add mine is the 2003 model, so could it be the same issue just not as part f the recall, sorry if i sound abit thick :S

make a call to ford and find out, you could also try cleaning the contacts to the sender unit in case there are connection problems
