• Q: How to replace the Fuel Level Sensor on the right side on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The initial step to replace the right side Fuel Level Sensor consists of extracting the module from the Fuel Tank. Slide the connector position assurance (CPA) downward while pressing on it with your thumb to disconnect the electric connection from the module. Proceed with these steps to remove the electrical connector: pull out sender wires from the connector followed by pushing the above-lock tab of the level sender body. Finally, extract the level sender from the slot. Before taking the level sender body out of the module the wires must be properly placed through the slot that is found in the back of the component. You must place the new level sender assembly inside the slot before pushing it downward until the lock tab activates. Start by running the wires beside the regulator ground wire and direct them to the electrical connector. Place level sender wires inside open slots of the connector while attaching it to the flange. Verify the level sender resistance using an ohmmeter to verify it returns 247-253 ohms for the empty stop while indicating 38.5-41.5 ohms for the full stop and show no open circuit at any point during the full test range. After reinstalling the module inside the tank users should check the level sender resistance against an empty tank position by holding the tank upright. Before completing the check use the tank roll to confirm the full stop resistance while returning the tank to vertical to validate free level sender movement without blockage from internal lines.
