I just purchased a 2007 base model coupe.
I've noticed three issues that I'll need to address. Two of the three, erratic climate control fan and fuel door drain tube, are both addressed here.
The third issue is that the gas/fuel gauge is not working at all. Anyone else with that problem?

 

What I do know, is that troubleshooting a fuel gauge issue is way easier in the Roadster - the connector on the top of the tank is exposed when you raise the lid to lower/raise the top.

Non-functioning fuel gauges are rare but we've seen a few in the thirteen years I've been here. It's always been the sending unit in the tank or the connector atop the tank (in Roadsters, as water can get in there quite easily in roadsters). In the "Wiring" section of the service manual, go to "Instrument Cluster" and you can see the wiring. It's pretty simple, there are two wires to the level sensor and the resistance of the sensor varies as to fuel level.

 

I will add to this. The fuel gauge stopped working in my 04 coupe. I drove the car around like this for quite a while. I was doing other work to the car, and had to remove the instrument cluster. When I reinstalled it, the fuel gauge came back to life. My guess is that reseating the connectors on the back of it made for better contact, and the gauge has worked without issue for over a year, now.

 

So, there are two things now I've read about that involve opening/removing panels on the dash of the Crossfire.
1. fixing the irregular function of my fan speed on the climate control system involves removing the facing to get the guts of that fan mechanism out for modification.
2. And now Neil is talking about removal of the instrument cluster to fiddle with the fuel gauge connections.

Are there videos or "how to" guides for removal of these things without disfiguring the car trying to figure out how to release things?

 

Yes, do a search on U-tube.

 

For the heater-A/C blower resistor, you access that from just above the passenger's feet.

To take out the instrument cluster, search "Chrysler Crossfire SKREEM access" or "Chrysler Crossfire SKREEM Removal" with google and look for the responses here.
See, to get to the SKREEM, the instrument cluster has to come out.

Our resident search feature is crap, I use google as it searches this site better than this site can search itself.

 

Looks like I misspelled "guage." Oops.

Yea, but you provided us with useful information...

 

Just to provide closure on this issue surrounding my non-functional fuel gauge...
I took the car to a local Mercedes Benz specialist shop. They were able to determine that the sending unit was fine, but that there was no power at the fuel gauge. They removed the instrument cluster and discovered that someone had previously been into that part of the car, apparently to service a SKREEM malfunction. During their "work" they "crushed" some sort of connector for the fuel gauge. The Mercedes shop was able to source the pieces they needed and it works great now. They had removed the steering wheel when they had the instrument cluster out. When the repositioned the wheel and started the car, the airbag warning light was on. Their SDS equipment would not communicate with the Crossfire's airbag module. They took it up the street to a Chrysler dealership that was able to clear that fault. The Chrysler guys charged $175 for their role in the solution. It probably took them awhile to find and dust off that equipment.

 

I think that the Mercedes shop probably connected the battery when the steering wheel airbag was disconnected or did not disconnect the battery when’re removing the air bag. In which case it was the fault of the Mercedes shop and you really should not have been charged in all fairness but fairness is not high on an auto repair shops priorities. They are after $$$$$$ and not any awards for for being fair. I can see why they would not want to eat this though as it was the mechanics fault.
That said I am sure you are glad the gauge is working fine.
