I had mine stop working over a year ago. If the tank is more than half full it will measure correctly but anytime it falls lower it stops working. Luckily anytime it is truely low the low gas warning does come on so it is a great help.
Power should goto the gauge, second wire from the gauge goes to the sender unit on the tank. If there's any other terminals on the gauge or the tank they will be grounds
Check the fues panel. cig lighter fuse also supplys power to the OBD diagnostic connector. Check the fuses to make sure the guages fuse is not blown too. you will need your owner manual since ford doesn't put the descriptions in their fuse panel cover

Hello
If it was a fuse problem none of the gauges would work or the warning lights. The problem is caused by a defective fuel gauge sending unit that is located of course inside the fuel tank. To rpelace this part requires the fuel tank be dropped out of the car.
Hello graytape, was the fuel gauge and low fuel light working and then one day just stopped working?, if so, you have probably blown a fuse and you should be able to locate what fuse and where it's located in the owner's manual.
If you recently got the vehicle and then you found out that the gas gauge and low fuel light doesn't work then that is something completely different.
without knowing the year of the vehicle I can only give you an educated guess.
Many vehicles have a float in the gas tank and this float is directly linked to what you see on the gas gauge. However, after a number of years the floats get saturated from the fuel and become heavy, heavy enough to where they don't float anymore. That is one of the most common causes of the fuel gauge not working.
The sensor that activates the low fuel warning light may be independent of the fuel gauge and the fuel in the tank isn't low enough to turn it on. Your tank has to be very low to activate the low fuel warning light.
Good luck!
