I recently noticed that when my gas tank is at "E", the ligght on the gauge does not come on. I know there is an old thread on diagnosing and solving this problem, anyone have any suggestions or the old thread by Daniel B. Martin.. Thank

 

Could it just be the bulb? Someone else would have to find you the link to the instructions to take apart the dash (I don't have much time at the moment), but there's just a regular incandescent bulb back there (I believe it's a weird size, like 74 or something). I don't think they are available at most parts stores, but I have an old gauge cluster with a bunch of them... I can send you one if you'd like.

The gas light in my car doesn't come on until after the needle has moved past the E mark

 

My gas light also won't come on until the meter is below E.

 

same here @!!!! its a god damn conspiracy!! how much time do u guys have till you run out of fuel once you do hit the e-mark, i am wondering if the readings are wrong or it may be the light

 

I think the late fuel light is a 95/96 problem. I had a 95 and now I have a 99, and the light comes on in the 99 as soon as the needle gets to the E mark (not below). Sorry guys

 

In my 96, after my light comes on I still have around three gallons left in the tank.

 

at what point on the guage does the light come on? at or ? above or below?

 

3 gallons is 1/6 of the tank... how can the light come on when the needle is below E and still have 3 gallons left??

 

typically,, im paranois about geerting stuck, thus right before it get to E i filler up again.


How far below E till it lites and how much gas is left

 

I have a 99 and it takes a While for it to come on while on E

 

I have a 95 SE i recently noticed that my fuel light is out too, when it started gaspin and i coasted into the gas station.

 

embarassing to say, but I didn't even know I had a fuel light...I have been pretty dang low...and I've never seen it. Hmmm

 

my gas light dont work either. i found that out the hard way. it stalled on me down the street from gas station. luckly i started it up and had some left to make it down.and the neddle is just before the end of the E.

 

My fuel light comes on about when the gauge reads E. Typically I have about 1.5 gallons of gas remaining at this point, but I typically fill it up before it comes on.
