We are in Wyoming camping, been pulling a travel trailer. Today we are unhitched, driving around Jackson Hole and sitting in a parking lot idling the fuel gauge went to empty and fuel light came on. Shut the truck off, turned back on, and now reading I think correctly and check engine light came on. I’ve been reading the fuel sender and fuel level sensor is all one unit. We are supposed to leave out tomorrow morning to head back home. Is it safe to assume the pump/sender is fine, and it’s just level sensor and okay to take off toward home? Or could the sender/pump itself be going bad? All shops are closed of course, and have to leave campground first thing tomorrow. Wouldn’t have enough time to drive to dealer first, so only option is to load up and leave, and stop at dealer on the way. Any advice?
Also, is it safe to just disconnect the negative cable from the battery for a while to try to reset the check engine light? Or could that expose possibly other fuel pump problems, like it stop working all together? Right now it runs and drives, so I don’t want to take a chance!
