I asked if the fuel gauge float and fuel pump moved. I paid out of pocket to have it fixed because the Ford dealership told me the warranty only "covered moving parts". This bent the fuel pump and gas gauge inside the tank. My gas gauge stopped functioning and all of these issues eventually leading to the tank imploding/collapsing on itself. When you would stick the gas nozzle in the tank a loud "whoosh" sound would emit as it relieved pressure. It began to idle rough, then would not want to start after fill ups. Later that evening I heard a weird suction sound coming from the fuel door area. Think this is something that Ford needs to do something about.įirst, the fuel door fell off the truck. Luckily it happened at home but still it was 4 degrees out and laying under my truck taking the module off was not very pleasant.

I got the upgraded part from a Ford dealer for $163 and installed. Went out and dropped spare tire and took the control module off the cross member and noticed the hole corroded through the housing just like the video. I got on the internet and searched no start problem for 2006 F-150 and found a you tube video of the fuel pump control module rusting out. With that I eliminated the ignition had to be fuel. Motor acted like it was going to start but never started beings I didn't give it enough starting fluid to start because I'm not a fan of using it. Gave a little shot of starting fluid into the intake and then tried to start. I tried the starting fluid test to see if it was an ignition problem or fuel problem. Went to start truck and engine would crank but would not fire. The manufacturer stated that the resolution of the repairs would have to made with the local dealer.
