6C3Z-9C264-A Water in Fuel Sensor for Ford 6.0L 6.4L Powerstroke
This sensor sits on the HFCM fuel filter assembly of the Ford 6.0L and 6.4L Powerstroke and reports water in the fuel to the PCM, which is what turns on the water-in-fuel lamp. When it fails the lamp either stays on with a dry bowl or never comes on with a bowl full of water; both end the same way, with water reaching the injectors. It is a plastic body with a square male connector, pushes straight on, and replaces 6C3Z-9C264-A, 904-459 and FWSS114.

❓ FAQ
Usually yes. A sensor that has failed open keeps the circuit reporting water, so the lamp stays lit no matter how often you drain. Drain the bowl once and watch the lamp; if it does not clear, the sensor is the part to change before you look at the wiring.
Yes, in the other failure direction. If the sensor reads dry permanently, the PCM never raises the warning and water reaches the injectors unnoticed. A key-on lamp test proves the bulb; if the bulb is fine and the lamp never lights again, the sensor is suspect.
It does. 2003-2007 6.0L and 2008-2010 6.4L use the same HFCM assembly, the same mounting point on the frame rail and the same harness connector, so the same sensor covers both.
Yes, drain the bowl first. The sensor sits at the bottom of the housing, so it comes out wet; draining first keeps diesel off the frame rail and stops the bowl from emptying over you when the sensor is pulled.
The body is plastic with a male terminal and a square connector, which is the HFCM plug shape. It pushes on with no re-pinning, so if your harness has been modified with a pigtail, check the plug before ordering.

Description
Product Overview
On a 6.0L or 6.4L Powerstroke the 6C3Z-9C264-A water-in-fuel sensor screws into the HFCM fuel filter assembly on the frame rail, its signal is what makes the dashboard lamp come on. A dead sensor is easy to misread: the lamp stays lit with a dry bowl, or stays dark with a bowl that is full of water. This replacement is a plastic-bodied sensor with a male terminal and a square connector, push-on fitting, rated to 250 °F, it covers 6C3Z9C264A, 904-459, FWSS114, 76925 and WB0002.
