Hello all, I have been working on my other SUV the money pit Rodeo. The setup is pretty much the same as the Explorer as far as the fuel pump. I replaced the in tank pump last weekend to solve a bad check valve problem (hard start). It starts fine now except the fuel gauge will not register above a 1/8 tank, and the check gas light goes off/on.
My question is, I have a new pump on the way, can I check that the sending unit is working before I reinstall it, will any damage be done to hook up the electrical and operate the pump and also control the float by hand to confirm the fuel gauge is seeing the pump.
I did check the connections and the fuses.
Thanks for your help.
