I have found a handful of other threads on this, but nothing too current, so I thought I'd start a new one.
The family and I were taking the LR3 east across Colorado headed to Kansas to visit family. The LR3 was not happy about heading east and away from the mountains I guess, and suddenly out of the blue the fuel gauge dropped from 3/4ths of the way full to right above empty and then over the course of a minute it dropped down all the way and showed 0 miles of range. Throttle response is normal, and it still is giving me the MPG average, which has been normal.
From what I've been reading it seems as though one (or both) of the fuel level sensors may need replaced.
Has anyone else had this happen and found another fix besides dropping the fuel tank and seeing if I can replace the sensors?
I saw someone mentioned in an old forum that the R8 fuse was for the fuel pump. If that was bad I'd have trouble with getting fuel to the engine right?
I've done a little work on this beast already (replaced starter 5 months back), but I'm a little nervous about this job. Any advice? Any recommendations for independent shops in Northern Colorado/Greeley area that might do the work for a reasonable rate?
Thanks!
