Fuel Baffle Repair-Now what?

[specagntscully]

Hi All,
Great place for information.
I performed the F1 fuse removal and hard wired, plugged back in and now I
get 1/2 and Full readings only.
Plugged the baffle back in and put in key and gauge goes to 1/2 full. Tilted the baffle slightly and now it
reads full.
Gauge will not go under 1/2 full and never reads empty until the key is removed.

Is there something I am missing? White puffy Float and magnets look all intact.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

Sounds like one of the magnets are stuck inside the baffle. Did you replace the float?

I did not replace the float as both magnets seem to be intact. As I tilt the baffle back
and forth it seems that the float does move all the way from top to bottom. I remove
the bottom cover and float slides right out with no problem.
With the float at the bottom of baffle it still reads 1/2 full.
I will order a new float to see if that works.

New Float-still issues

I did not replace the float as both magnets seem to be intact. As I tilt the baffle back
and forth it seems that the float does move all the way from top to bottom. I remove
the bottom cover and float slides right out with no problem.
With the float at the bottom of baffle it still reads 1/2 full.
I will order a new float to see if that works.

I purchase a new float and still have the same issues.
Do i need to place it back into the tank to get fuel on it
to see if it works properly?? or should I now replace the baffle unit.

thanks for your help.
