Alright guys I got a question. My 08 outlander 800 fuel gauge doesn't work. They old guy I bought it from said it just didn't work one day when he went out and got on it. It only has 400 miles so I can't see it being worn out or anything. The fuel light blink and it shows no bars. Is there troubleshooting things I can do. Or suggestions to get it to work

They are notorious for this. From what I've gathered it would be hard to find one that does work.

Most likely the sending unit in the tank.

Anyway to test that. Would I have to buy the whole fuel pump assembly

Don'trun out and buy the whole assembly. IIt's probably just the float. The floats are junk on these. It happened to mine and I found on the forum someone modified their float rod to accept a Ford ranger float. I did it to mine and showed my dealer how to do it as he had 2 units in the shop with bad gas gauges. He did a little work for me in trade. Just search the forum for Ford fuel float that should bring up something for you. The thread had lots of good pics.

Mine doesn't work perfect. It still has about 1/3 tank when it's empty but work good enough for me. Only cost me $14 for the Ford ranger float too.
