Fuel gauge shows empty even with a full tank and the low fuel light stays on.
What is your question?
What could cause the fuel gauge on my 2001 Ford Expedition to not register. And how difficult will it be to repair?
I was filling it up and even though I filled it up, it only showed half full.
Then it went to only showing empty and low fuel light stays on.
I have filled it with gas so I know I have fuel. So what is the likely problem and how difficult / expensive will it be to repair?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing
