If the gas gauge isn't working on Your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, there might be an issue with the fuel sending unit. The unit includes a float that measures the fuel level in the tank. If there's a problem with it, you may not get an accurate reading on the dashboard. I recommend checking the fuel pump relay for damage initially, as it could be a simple fix like a faulty relay or wire connection. Another possibility is a faulty wire leading to the gauge itself. You can test these wires for continuity by accessing the top of the dashboard.

To recalibrate the fuel gauge in a 2005 Ford Explorer, press the odo/trip button and then turn off the vehicle. Keep the button pressed as you turn it back on to ensure it's in odo/trip mode. Turn the vehicle off once more, wait 10 minutes, then repeat the process of turning it on and off. This should reset the gauge. If the issue persists, it could be due to a lack of power to the gauge or faulty wiring connected to it.
