Therefore, there's no single module to troubleshoot. The problem likely lies in one of these two areas:
* Fuel level sending unit: This is the most common culprit. It can fail due to age, corrosion, or a faulty float.
* Instrument cluster: Less common, but a problem within the instrument cluster itself (a burned-out bulb or a faulty circuit) could also prevent the light from working.
To diagnose the problem, you'll need to test the fuel level sending unit's resistance with a multimeter and check the wiring connections between the sending unit and the instrument cluster. A wiring diagram for your specific year and model will be helpful. You can often find these online through forums dedicated to classic Ford vehicles.
