Jumper Fuel Sensor Fuse

I'm having trouble with my 2011 Citroen Jumper diesel. It has 245543 km. The check engine light comes on sometimes, and the engine stalls at idle. A scan shows a fuel level sensor error. I checked the wiring, but I don't know where the fuel sensor fuse is, if there is one. Any ideas?

Oh, that sounds familiar! I had almost the exact same thing happen with my old Opel Corsa—the car dashboard was a total light show of doom, and it kept cutting out at lights. I was pulling my hair out! Did you try wiggling the wires connected to the fuel sensor? Maybe it's just a loose connection or corrosion. Also, someone told me to check the ground connection for the fuel system. He's usually right, because, well, you know.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check the wiring and ground connections better. Do you remember any specific areas to look at on the fuel sensor wiring, or any particular loom? I want to be careful.

Okay, so, on my Corsa, it was a nightmare to get to! I remember the connection right at the fuel tank was the biggest issue. It was corroded like crazy because of all the road salt. Honestly, though, after messing about with it for a whole weekend, I ended up just taking it to a workshop. Saved me loads of time and grief in the long run, plus they had the right tools to diagnose the car electronics properly. Sometimes it's just better to let the pros handle it, especially with fuel system stuff, you know?

Understood. Thanks for sharing. I'll check the connections one more time, then think about professional diagnostics. Turns out it was a bad fuse. A new one fixed it. Cost 52€.
