Fuel Sender Power comes through coolant temp switch? 3208T
I've had a couple of random electrical problems and I'm trying to
figure something out. The hot wire for my 87FC35 (3208T) fuel sender goes through what looks like a temperature sender/switch on my block. If I'm under the dog house, the "sender/switch" looking thing is about 6" northeast of the fuel sender itself. (It is screwed into the engine and when I loosen it antifreeze comes out.) I'm suspecting that this sender/switch is bad. Does it make sense that this would be wired this way? I presume if the engine overheats it opens a contact and quits sending power to the fuel sender, therefore shutting down the engine before it can be damaged?? Anybody know? Thanks, Alan Johnson 87FC35 87FC35 |

Alan,
I was trying to picture what your problem is but... well... the fuel sending unit is in the fuel tank, which on an FC is a lot farther than 6" from the engine. Why don't we start with what the electrical problems are, and go from there.
