[QUOTE="robrike1, post: 1562417, member: 33184"] Hey everyone. 2004 F250 KR 4 wheel drive 6.0 6 3/4 ft bed I have searched and searched and cannot find consistent info regarding a fuel gauge (single tank) that started reading inaccurate then eventually went to reading empty with low fuel light on. Maybe a week later it just read empty, no low fuel light on now. At the same time I noticed my overhead console was showing outside ambient air temp was about 17 to 20 degrees lower than the actual real temp. I found someone had posted same scenario but they never followed up on what they did to resolve it. I've used Forscan to run the gauge sweep test and it performs properly. I am getting this code on Forscan: ===IC DTC B1201=== Code: B1201 - Fuel gauge sender open circuit or short circuit to positive My range on overhead console seems to know when I fill up although perhaps not super accurate. Never was even when gauge worked but it knows somehow that tank was filled, does it read off fuel sender unit? I don't see how it couldn't which makes me think ground further down the line. I'm about to move 2,000 miles across the Country in 2 weeks so my ability to troubleshoot is limited due to wife freaking out about packing. [emoji20] Has anyone run across a similar issue where fuel gauge died and overhead console temp read low as well? Did you find a common ground? I see in Alldata that the sender seems to have a yellow/white???? Wire that runs from sender and somehow passes thru overhead console as well but I'm not great with wiring diagrams and alldata seems a little clumsy, or maybe it is me. [emoji3] But to me it looks like sender hits overhead then maybe on to fuel gauge or fuel gauge on to overhead. Any insight would be tremendously appreciated. I've got Chevron Techron Plus in tank now to clean the sender sweeper. I think Ford actually had that in a TSB at some point as something to try first. Thanks in advance.
