Thanks to each of you. After reading your posts, Indid a careful inspection of the main gas fill tube. There was a small crimp where it turns and enters the tank. I bought a few round clamps and positioned them so that the fill tube took on more of its natural shape when I tightened the...

I am having a problem filling my gas tank. When I am filling it the nozzle shuts off about five gallons short of a full tank. I have watched several EVAP videos so I am assuming the problem is either the solenoid, the purge valve, the charcoal cannister (there are two) or a clogged line. No...

I wanted to post my resolution. It WAS a ground issue. I am sure the seasoned mechanics will roll their eyes but here’s what happened. I removed the instrument cluster (fifth time) and inspected it carefully. I am unsure whether the harness was securely attached so I disconnected it and...

I disconnected the harness to my turn signal (it has 10 wires and another wire for the small light that illuminates the gears). I then connected my original turn signal. No change - i.e. the problem still existed. I then removed one fuse at a time - no impact. The only interesting thing that...

Update: I added two ground connections from the chassis to the motor. In each ground I carefully removed the corrosion to ensure I had clean metal to metal contact. Absolutely no impact on my problem. I connected another ground wire from the cluster to the frame with no effect. Each of my...

I didn’t watch the installation of the turn signal but I wish I had. I am not a mechanic nor am I mechanically inclined but I am learning a lot on the fly. I will try a few ground wire scenarios tomorrow and will post the results. If I can’t figure it out myself by this weekend I will take it...

Bill, thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I had a difficult time finding the instrument cluster voltage regulator. It is definitely not Motorcraft, but I don’t believe it was made in China either. The turn signal was made by Duralast. I bought it from Autozone. If I had realized it was as wire...

Recently I replaced my turn signal and now my fuel gauge and temperature gauge do not read accurately. The auto electric shop that installed the turn signal said it was my instrument cluster voltage regulator. I replaced it but the problem still persists. Specifically, when I turn on the heater...

My apology. Will do.
