As the driver of a 2006 Ford Mustang, You may be concerned about rumors regarding problems with the fuel gauge on Your vehicle. There have been numerous reports for both the 2005 and 2006 models. The symptom that is usually noticed by owners of these vehicles is the fuel gauge no longer reading full once it has been, or the gauge registering as empty even though You just refilled the tank. The cause of this is primarily the fuel sender card becoming faulty, or a loose or worn connectors at the fuel sender itself. If the sender needs to be replaced, You can expect to pay between $48 and $92 for parts alone.
