Endeavour Fuel Level Sensor Issue

I'm having a fuel level sensor issue with my 2003 Ford Endeavour diesel. The check engine light comes on and it sometimes stalls at idle. Error code shows up in diagnostics. Could a fuse be the problem? Has anyone else seen this?

The issue involves a fuel level sensor problem in a 2003 Ford Endeavour diesel, causing the check engine light to activate and occasional stalling at idle. The problem might be linked to a faulty sensor or a wiring issue, such as a loose connection or corrosion in the wiring harness to the fuel tank. A suggested solution is to have a technician diagnose and address the issue, which may involve replacing the sensor and recalibrating the fuel gauge.

I had similar symptoms with my 2014 Opel Insignia. The dashboard flashed and it turned out to be a fuel system fault. Have you checked the wiring harness to the fuel tank? Could be a loose connection.

Thanks. Can you tell me where to look on the wiring harness for problems? I want to be careful with the electronics.

My mechanic checked the connector where the harness connects to the fuel tank. There was corrosion. Even though the Insignia is different, a bad connection there could cause it. But the fuel system is complex, so a workshop might be best. It's hard to diagnose remotely.

Thanks, I think a technician is the way to go. The error code pointed to the sensor, so they replaced it, recalibrated the fuel gauge, and ran diagnostics. Total was 52€ for parts and labor. Thanks for the help.
