A few issues with my 3rd gen

What's up I have a 1993 GXE, while my last trip to Anaheim and back (which I got 405 miles on a full tank,driving an average of 65-85mph on I5) the cruise control light started to blink several times n I lost cruising mode,which also the speedometer stopped working at the same time. Then the speedometer would start to work n cruise control was working again after I reset the speed. I was thinking its the "speed/revolution sensor" where is it located?

Also I couldn't get the "low fuel" light to go on even if the needle was way below the 'E' any ideas what it might be. Thanks in advance.

I think the correct part you're looking for is the speed sensor. For the VG models, it is located on the transmission near the oil filter.



I may suggest reading the FSM to start troubleshooting the cruise control.

Cruise control starts on EL-113.

As for the low fuel light problem. Either the light on the instrument cluster is burnt (which I doubt) or the low fuel sensor inside the tank doesn't work. Had the same issue on mine but when I changed the fuel meter in the tank which also has the low fuel sensor it worked again.
