ISSUE:
The electronic instrument cluster (EIC) fuel gauge may intermittently show an increase in the fuel level or display circuit open "CO". This
happens when the fuel tank level is above 1/2 full. The condition is caused by either an intermittent high resistance contact or an open circuit
internal to the fuel sender unit.
ACTION:
Perform the diagnostic procedures outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual, Sections 33-05 for Cars and 13-01A for the Aerostar to
determine if a new fuel pump/sender is required.
