ISSUE
Some 2007-2008 Edge and MKX vehicles built before 11/1/2007, may experience an inaccurate low fuel gauge indicator. This condition may be caused
by a stuck float arm on the fuel delivery module. The fuel delivery module float arm could get hung up on the fuel tank baffle plate. This failure mode
will only occur when the fuel tank is at or near empty fuel level. When the fuel tank is refilled to a full level, the fuel gauge will continue to read a low
fuel fill level. For all other fuel gauge related concerns, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 413-01.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
To make this repair it will be necessary to remove the fuel pump module from the fuel tank. Follow WSM, Section 310-01.
2.
Once the fuel delivery module is removed from the fuel tank, access the fuel tank baffle through the fuel tank fuel delivery opening. (Figure 1)
3.
Move the baffle plate with a wooden object or by hand towards the front of the vehicle to prevent interference between the baffle and the float
arm. The fuel tank baffle plate is a metal plate that is easy to move by hand or using a tool with no consequent damage to the baffle.
