My man, you get the award of the century. 1. You stated how many bolts were required to remove (and you showed us where they were). 2. You gave us actual bolt specs 3. Told us exactly what was required to remove the assembly (clips, brackets, bolts, etc) 4. You didn't fast forward but let us see exactly what we needed to see as if we were taking a class from you in person. 5. You demonstrated exactly how to use the paper clip to check the fuel bulb. I am so thankful for your masterful instructional. Thank you so much!
I did this today with your video as a guild, came out perfect, took over an hour but was easy. By the way iam a 39 year old female and i still did it lol
Great video, easy-to-follow procedure. About the light bulbs in the instrument cluster, a bunch of mine were out. I took the cluster out and bought the gray and black sockets with new bulbs included from hondapartsnow. They were considerably cheaper than buying from my Honda dealer. I replaced the sockets because when they blew, they charred the sockets as well as blowing the bulbs. All my gray sockets were badly charred. I also replaced the shift indicator bulbs. Drive was out, but I went ahead and replaced the ones used most, P, R N D. There is also a gray socket bulb under the cover for the shifter bulbs and mine was out. I replaced a total of 16 bulbs I think by the time I was done. There are 5 gray ones, one for each gear, and several black ones depending on the features you have. There is also one large bulb socket connected to a wire, and I had to replace that bulb, too. If your dash is getting dark and hard to see, especially at night, it's time to take it out and check all the bulbs, make an order, and replace all the burned out bulbs and charred sockets.
if your pumps working and you are jst getting low signals, you can just take that assembly out and see what is wrong with the rheostat - if you run your gas to E all the time or run around with low gas sometimes corrosion will build up on the contacts. sometimes you can just get another rheostat - after market pumps often dont do well and factory ones cost a lot. I just came in here to see how ya'll get to the pump assembly in these CRV's, I bought one the other day but it;s accross town for awhile. I see that honda is not a douche like some other companies and you do not have to drop that tank! NICE I cut a hole the one under this cars seat in my GMC yukkon and made a bolt down sealed door over it because the fuel pumps are so bad in those, i have changed it 6 times now! suburbans also. terrible, it really sucks when you have to drop the tank. this is awesome great video everything I have looked up on how to work on the CRV I got the other day makes me so happy! i am going to be able to drive this thing forever!
Great video, thank you, it really helped me a lot! With your video, this turned out to be an easy fix. One thing though, to viewers; be very mindful of the little plastic clip on the one fuel line. Use care, and do not try to take it off until you have the fuel pump out of the car. I did okay and was able to reuse it, but i did look into it. If you break it, a new one can cost you as much $20, or more. Again, thanks.
they sell fuel line by the foot at most auto stores, so anyone reading this don't worry, its not a big deal if it breaks, just bring old one so they can match the diameter
Great video. I heard people don’t trust those strainers/socks over the oem strainers due to it warning you the gas is low too late or too early I forgot but the info on this is awesome.
Interesting. My low fuel light came on for the first time about 2-3 days after finishing this, but turned off! It was because I was going uphill then back down the other side of a mountain. It then proceeded to turn on and stay in as the gas got even lower. Thankfully it's working great!
So the low gas light was not working on my daughters 99 CRV. I jumped the harness at the pump and still no light. I removed the cluster and found the bulb had been replaced with an led bulb. I replaced the led with another led bulb from the cluster and still nothing. I swapped in an incandescent bulb #74 and the light works when I jump the harness. LED bulbs are not a good option for the low gas bulb. I believe is has the do with the lack of resistance in an LED vs an incandescent bulb. I remember in my 99 Civic sometimes the bulb would dimly come on and then get brighter. LEDs are either on or off so they work great for the other dash bulbs, but not for the gas light that gets a signal from a rheostat device like a fuel level sender.
Are you sure just 60 bucks bosh brand, that 4 years ago, today any branded pump cost from 140 to 200, only unbranded one cost from 50 bucks to 80 bucks on eBay,but you can't trusted except if you need the assembly without pump.
Thanks for your great video tutorial on how to replace the fuel pump assembly. I’ve add an issue this month with my 2001 Honda CRV not turning over (battery good) - got it to start, and then a few weeks later the engine failed while driving - once (not driving it now). Does it sound like it could be the fuel pump? I’ve run tests on the electrical with a code reader and nothing is registering so I don’t think it’s the relay. Any trouble shooting tips you can offer will be appreciated. Thank you, Jen
@@GarageBuiltHondas have the same issue! Turns off randomly while driving but starts back up. Some days it happens 3 times on the way home and most days doesn’t turn off. No check engine light, no low fuel light. Think this will help?
Just replaced mine. Great video! Still having some what of an issue with the actual “low gas light” coming on. I can see it come on, than it fades out. Where should the needle on the gas gauge be when the light comes on? Is there anything else I should be checking for?
People just make sure you put the new fuel pump in so the float is not stuck in the tank. I had to take it back out to make sure the float was in right.
@@GarageBuiltHondas I am looking to replace my fuel pump for my Honda crv 1999 Ex. I would love a recommendation on where to buy the part, please! great video btw
Well that was surprisingly easy. I’ve got a raw fuel smell that comes from the back of the car sometimes when I refuel. Maybe this will motivate me to investigate further. The top of the fuel pump assembly was surprisingly dirty. Is it exposed to the weather under the car? Cars that live outside have a hard life.
Question about the clip you inserted to the socket. Did you turn ON the key before you insert the clip to the socket? Or its just the dashboard lights ON after you inserted the clip. And what do you mean of that the dashboard lights ON after inserting the clip to the socket? Is that indicates that the sending unit is perfectly working? What if the dashboard did not lights ON after inserting the clip to the socket? Is that indicates the sending unit is faulty? Thanks
Great video man. But where I live, the whole assembly is over $300 while the pump is only $60. Would have been great to see how to replace just the pump.
It's super easy. There's the fuel tube and a couple fittings. I guarantee you'll be able to change it once getting to this step, even for a novice mechanic.
Great write up as usual but wait that Bosch was made in the JPan since when did that happen. Bosch is German Tech. Well if Japan built it then it will last!
@@GarageBuiltHondas Just as reference for others. My gas gauge didn't work after install because I inserted the float and mesh strainer wrong. Inserting it towards the rear of the vehicle fixed the issue.
What was the initial reason to change pump? Performance, or just low level light? Mine, a 2001 with 212,000 miles is slow to start then goes hard about 3000rpm, so its as if it is waiting for fuel. New plugs, camp, coil and rotor, wires...already in. Fuel Pump maybe?
230k miles. I wanted to fix the light but also didn't know the history of the pump and wanted to avoid it failing one day and being stranded randomly. Your pump might be struggling and/or the strainer might be clogged too helping cause your issues potentially.
So I followed your steps but I ran into an issue. Everything went fine, but that connector at 2:54 the red one with 2 on top and 3 on bottom. Behind it are several wires. One of them ripped off because of how old it is. My issue is finding a replacement because I have no clue what it's called. Any idea where I can find it or how to fix it?
@@daniellewhite-rayos850 I ended up going to the junkyard and finding the same model years and cutting it off then rewiring it back to my car and ended up working. I still don't know what it's called but I got my 2000 cr-v up and running 😁 is there something I could help you with?
Just replaced my sending unit since my light was always on so I believe that the float was either jammed or faulty but the light is still on after replacing the unit
My 98 CRV light stayed on after I replaced the burned-out bulb also and so I replaced sending unit also. Long story short - DON'T use an LED bulb in the low fuel bulb socket. You MUST use an incandescent bulb - one with a filament. Since LEDs are very low resistance and turn on at 1.8 volts to 3.3 volts my light was on anytime the key was on. I assume the design on first Gen CRVs was to continuously leak small voltage to the bulb and then build up the voltage to 12 volts when out of gas. Since incandescent bulbs are high resistance they push back on the voltage until the voltage actually gets high enough to make the tungsten filament burn - in other words - GLOW. My assumption on this is because now with the incandescent bulb in mine it is off until almost completely empty, then it will slowly get brighter as it gets closer to empty. BTW LEDs work fine in every other socket on my dash. I don't know if this is true for all first Gen CRVs.
My crv died suddenly after we left home right after we started to accelerate through a stop sign. Thinking it's the camshaft sensor or fuel pump because the ignition still tries, but engine doesn't fire.
oh yeah, this got comical second half. low gas light, If I get back there I will take that one out and also the ABS light. neither one is needed. i hate looking at lit silly lights. the ABS is not needed because , it;s never going to work, I AM NOT HOOKING THAT SILLY STUFF BACK UP. and the low fuel light is not needed because there is a gauge right there ! LOL. if the gauge is not working then there is something wrong between the Rheostat and the and the guage, corrosion or a broke wire or even some gunk that got in the tank. The OEM is more expensive because it;s AWESOME, you can rebuild an OEM Honda fuel pump assembly. the assembly is the entire thing, if your pump just needs replaced you can get just the pump and new sock. your socks here are not even dirty, I would bet your gas light was not coming on just because of a tiny bit of oxidation or some other crud that was breaking the circuit. Anyway, yeah I saw some brand new honda oem assemblies up in the ridiculous range, like 500 bucks! LOL i would not buy one of those for sure but I would rebuild my own as long it could last. im shooting for a milliom mile car. :0)
Do one of those hoses on the top connect to to the fuel tank pressure sensor I’m asking because mine got completely ripped out an I’m trying to figure out we’re that hose goes please if anyone knows lmk
At that link. The price has gone up significantly, I'm unsure why. It's been over 2 years since I bought mine, shop around, maybe you can find it cheaper now.
I changed fuel pump, heaps of power from starter motor, but engine not firing up, piece of shit, beware of these 1st gen crv, very good video though followed instructions too the tee.
My 1998 Civic has the same problem, no low fuel light. Just wondering, if there is a similar assembly bosch assembly for the civic? Heck I am looking at RockAuto and it doesnt even list the part that you are installing for the CR-V. Where did you run across the info for this pump? Thanks Jon
Magic! Lol I just google shopped for a crv pump and came across it. That's how I do all my shopping. I liked this one the best plus it was the cheapest.
Wait I see you updated to say the Bosch is discontinued. I don’t really trust the a premium stuff as I ordered their engine mounts in a pinch and had to return them as the holes would not line up with the body of the vehicle. Had to get the Dorman. Any other highly rated reasonable units out there? Might have to go with a autozone for their lifetime warranty
@@GarageBuiltHondasI see rockauto has the delphi for just under 200. Part number is identical to the autozone unit except for 1 less letter in the part number. I’m assuming it’s the same part. I’m gonna try the fuel filter in the engine bay first and see if that takes care of my problem. Gonna call the dealer in the morning and see if they have oem available and reasonably priced, I read on the fb group they’re $50 so I dont mind paying that for it.
I have a 99 crv, every so often I’ll lose power/rpms drop (no lights flashing-just did my alternator & its not a clogged cat, i just replaced that too.) my low fuel light works and so does my gauge. Does anyone have symptoms similar to this? Trying to diagnose my problem.
@@GarageBuiltHondas It never moves. I got it replaced by a mechanic and afterwards I filled my tank completely and It has never moved since. I'm skeptical of going to someone else for an entire new assembly again.
@@GarageBuiltHondas the entire thing needed to be changed. I purchased it by a private seller and the car itself didn’t start anymore because of the fuel pump going bad according to the mechanic upon inspection before buying it. After he changed it, months ago, the needle has never changed from empty and that’s with driving it a few times and filling the tank up.
If the low fuel light didn't come on do you suspect that its best to just replace the fuel pump then? Because them mfs are expensive haha. My crv low gas light doesn't turn on, but just saw the price and well yea haha.

My Crv starts slow after it has been sitting overnight. I’ve replaced the spark plugs with no avail. Does this sound like a fuel pump issue ?
Possibly. Go rent a fuel pressure tester from your local auto parts store and rule out the pump being the issue.
Just replaced my sending unit since my light was always on so I believe that the float was either jammed or faulty but the light is still on after replacing the unit
Check the cluster, check the bulb, check the related wiring for the sending unit.
Bulb is good since it’s always on I cleaned all the plugs reset ecu and still on
Maybe need to bust out a multimeter and start checking some of the wiring.
My 98 CRV light stayed on after I replaced the burned-out bulb also and so I replaced sending unit also. Long story short - DON'T use an LED bulb in the low fuel bulb socket.

I couldn’t find the part. It’s out of stock everywhere. Any other part number ?

@@GarageBuiltHondas i got a 01 it’s okay if I use it ? Appreciate your help 👍🏾🙏🏾
I'm not sure if they've changed, sorry, can't help.
My 1998 Civic has the same problem, no low fuel light. Just wondering, if there is a similar assembly bosch assembly for the civic? Heck I am looking at RockAuto and it doesnt even list the part that you are installing for the CR-V.
Where did you run across the info for this pump?
Thanks Jon
I doubt the assembly isn't he same because of the different body styles. The link is in the description of the video.

I figured, but how did you even find that assembly? I even looked on bosch's website and they dont have it listed for your CRV...
Magic! Lol
I just google shopped for a crv pump and came across it. That's how I do all my shopping. I liked this one the best plus it was the cheapest.
Dang out of stock everywhere. Any other brand you recommend?
Wait I see you updated to say the Bosch is discontinued. I don’t really trust the a premium stuff as I ordered their engine mounts in a pinch and had to return them as the holes would not line up with the body of the vehicle. Had to get the Dorman. Any other highly rated reasonable units out there? Might have to go with a autozone for their lifetime warranty
I've been using the Delphi from AutoZone lately and have had good luck using them.
@@GarageBuiltHondasI see rockauto has the delphi for just under 200. Part number is identical to the autozone unit except for 1 less letter in the part number. I’m assuming it’s the same part. I’m gonna try the fuel filter in the engine bay first and see if that takes care of my problem. Gonna call the dealer in the morning and see if they have oem available and reasonably priced, I read on the fb group they’re $50 so I dont mind paying that for it.
I have a 99 crv, every so often I’ll lose power/rpms drop (no lights flashing-just did my alternator & its not a clogged cat, i just replaced that too.) my low fuel light works and so does my gauge. Does anyone have symptoms similar to this? Trying to diagnose my problem.
Where did you get that for $60?
Used to be cheap. Prices skyrocketed over the last few years.
Do you have a diagnostic for my needle on my dash stating below E, even after I fill it with gas?
It never moves?
@@GarageBuiltHondas It never moves. I got it replaced by a mechanic and afterwards I filled my tank completely and It has never moved since. I'm skeptical of going to someone else for an entire new assembly again.
So it worked before he replaced the parts?
@@GarageBuiltHondas the entire thing needed to be changed. I purchased it by a private seller and the car itself didn’t start anymore because of the fuel pump going bad according to the mechanic upon inspection before buying it. After he changed it, months ago, the needle has never changed from empty and that’s with driving it a few times and filling the tank up.
Try a new cluster then. It probably stopped working. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen that happen.
Damn now they want like $600
I'm not sure why it went up in price. Check your local auto parts store. I believe they have the same item at a lower price.
If the low fuel light didn't come on do you suspect that its best to just replace the fuel pump then? Because them mfs are expensive haha. My crv low gas light doesn't turn on, but just saw the price and well yea haha.
Seemed to be my sending unit. See if you can find just that alone. I'm not sure if it's integrated into the pump.
@@GarageBuiltHondas thank you bro. Ill do research on that! Keep up the videos though I enjoy watching them!
👍
$60? That link says $434.07!!
Video is old, price reflected that. Not sure why pricings is different now. Maybe the demand increased exponentially.
@@GarageBuiltHondas Rock auto price is $135.79 (06/14/2021)
