ISSUE:
An inoperative fuel gauge after the instrument cluster printed circuit has been replaced may be caused by the lack of an anti-slosh module.
Printed circuits produced after 10/01/86 have a hole punched through the circuit board to accept the anti-slosh module. If an anti-slosh
module is not used when the new instrument cluster printed circuit is installed, the fuel gauge circuit will be left open.
ACTION:
If service is required, always make sure that an anti-slosh module exists when a new instrument cluster printed circuit is installed. If an
anti-slosh module is not present, install one at this time. Refer to the following service procedure.
1.
Remove the instrument cluster. Refer to Taurus/Sable Shop Manual, Section 33-01 for service details.
2.
Remove the old instrument cluster printed circuit.
3.
Install a new instrument cluster printed circuit.
