WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. When ignition is on, fuel pump symbol should light if fuel level is less than 1/4 tank. Indicator should remain off otherwise. If indicator light comes on with more than 1/4 tank of fuel, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Unplug fuel gauge sending unit connection at tank. Connect 56-ohm resistor between harness connector Yellow/White wire terminal and ground. Turn ignition on. Wait 2 minutes. Fuel gauge should indicate about 1/4 tank.
  3. Observe indicator light. If indicator light is off, replace antislosh module, mounted at rear of instrument cluster. If light is on, turn ignition off. Replace 56-ohm resistor with 33-ohm resistor. Turn ignition on. Wait 2 minutes. Fuel gauge should indicate about 1/8-1/4 tank.
  4. Observe indicator light. If indicator light is off, replace antislosh module. If indicator light is on, and fuel gauge indicates approximately1/8-1/4 tank, fuel gauge and antislosh module are okay. Inspect fuel gauge sending unit for intermittent fault.
  5. If indicator light is on and fuel gauge indicates more than 1/4 tank, test operation of fuel gauge. See FUEL GAUGE TEST.
