Low fuel warning light???

Does anyone know how of know where a write up is to change the warning light letting you know your fuel is low? I've had my car for almost 5 years and it never worked. Thanks for any help provided.

To answer your questions, yes I have run out......actually when I did I just put her in neutral and cruised cuz the gas station I was going to was one block away. Now, does anyone have any answer???

Haynes Shop manual has a nice write up on how that circuit is tested. Chances are good it's the thermistor in your gas tank that's shot.














There's a reason why they call them idiot lights

it would be nice if someone could post a pic of what the light looks like and where it is, so we know what to look for. Yes, i've checked the haynes manual, and it doesen't say where it is. I'd just like to have the damn thing come on for once.

I usually never run my gas below a quarter tank unless I'm broke myself.. But then again all my friends say "You should drive, you have more gas" .. and they put $2 in their Hondas when they go to the gas station.
