| Whirring noise from fuel pump as described in ford technical bulletin and loss of sending unit signal to fuel gauge. parts dept and servisor for local ford dealer admit several units replaced using specified field revision parts separating fuel pump and sending unit using new design jumper harness. not covered by any known recall. cost to unfortunate consumer, $371.80 for parts plus $75.00 per hour with no time estimate. any malfunction in the fule tank and delivery system along with the gauging system powered by electricity is a major safety problem as i see it as a former osha associate (with my former employer, before retirement).*ak | |||
