I'm having the issue that 07 Boss had and I'm getting myself turned around a little bit. In This situation where the car is fine from full to half and then drops to zero and the car runs out of gas is it the driver's side or the passenger side that gets replaced? I replaced the drivers side a while back, already. I'm driving myself mad trying to figure out which side is responsible and needs to be replaced.

Can someone offer me some simple clarity?

Theres a few things to check. It gets confusing as both senders read same resistance and if the siphon is not working properly can cause some confusion. This is best way I have found to half split through the problem. Next time you are under half a tank go into the passenger side and pull the hat. Passenger side should be completely empty of fuel with half tank or less. If it is, good your siphon system works. While you have it open test and clean the sensor. Use a multimeter and read resistance. With the float arm down should read 15 ohms and slowly raise arm it should track up to around 160 ohms when fully raised. If all is good put it back in.

From here you now know the problem is with driver side sender or stepper motor problem in the cluster.

Folks, like the 05gtowner, I have the exact same issue as stated "When I fill the tank, I get a P0463 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High Input code and the needle drops to empty and the fuel light and Check engine light illuminates. Then once I reach about half tank the needle returns to half way mark, the fuel light goes out but the CEL light stays on. Car runs fine and no issues with drive-ability. If I clear the code it wont return unless I fill the tank. If I put enough fuel in to reach half a tank then no CEL and no codes pop up. Therefore, I am getting issues consistent with the TSB 08-04-17 https://latemodel.cachefly.net/downloads/tsb05-14/tsb08-04-17.pdf

I guess I need to replace both:
Ford 7R3Z-9275-C Fuel Tank Sender Assembly
Ford 7R3Z-9A299-C Fuel Tank Sender Assembly

Do folks agree?
