This is a well known fault with this model. I am sorry but I cannot remember now if the problem was with the gauge on the dash or the sender unit in the fuel tank. There was also a big problem with the gauges giving incorrect readings when they appeared to be working.
Contact your local ford dealer service centre and they can tell you the fix as they have done hundreds of them.

The float that moves the gas hand is possibly stuck in the tank. If there's isn't an access hole in the rear of the vehicle you'll have to drop the tank. Unless it becomes free on it's own. Hope this is helpful. Please rate. Thanks

you have a bad sending unit inside your tank.
the resistance of the potentiometer inside is broke on the half tank part.
you have to replace it.
tnx 4 using fixya.

The problem is the fuel guage sending unit, this is in the fuel tank, it will have to be changed out.

The switch that you use to change tanks is probably faulty - the switch supplies power for the sending unit in the tank, and to the transfer switch for the gas lines - use a meter to check it

Hi,
This sounds like the sender unit in the fuel tank is worn or possibly a corroded/ bad earth from the unit itself.
There should be an inspection plate above the fuel tank removal of this should reveal the sender unit and connections, if not can you see on top of it? make sure all connections are clean and not gunged up with corrosion. Try spraying Wd40 or similar around the area whilst wiggling the plugs/wires.
Good Luck, Please press the Blue Button to appraise my FREE! Effort.
