OB2 Code P0708 & P0460
I finally got my edge to work and two codes came up code #1 is P0460 fuel level senser circuit malfunction. What's this mean? My guage works fine. Code #2 is P0708 transmission circuit range senser high imput. What's this mean?

P0460 can be caused by a lot of things: overfill of the fuel tank, aftermarket remote start systems, and short in the harness. Here's a TSB about it from back in 05
18465 1997-2005 MULTIPLE VEHICLES - INTERMITTENT MIL ON WITH DTC P0460 - SERVICE TIP
SOME 1997-2005 VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT AN INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ON WITH DTC P0460 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION). THIS CONDITION MAY BE CAUSED BY AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED REMOTE START SYSTEM, AFFECTING THE FLUID LEVEL INPUT (FLI) INFORMATION TO THE PCM. THE CONDITION MAY BE DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE. TO SERVICE, CHECK FOR AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED FORD OR AFTERMARKET REMOTE STARTER SYSTEM. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR HEC MUST HAVE POWER TO ALL 'HOT IN RUN' CIRCUITS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE CIRCUIT TO PROPERLY RELAY FLI INFORMATION TO THE PCM (EITHER BY NETWORK COMMUNICATION OR A DIRECT HARDWIRE CIRCUIT).

The 0708 code, there is a Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) on the driver's side of the trans where the shifter cable attaches. Either the sensor is bad or one of the wires to the sensor is bad. The cable could also be out of adjustment.
