Last night I was driving and I ran out of gas and my low gas light never came on and I've been noticing lately that it hasn't been coming on lately when I've been getting low on gas. Is there a way I can check it to make sure the light isn't bad? Thanks.

well it could be the light. or it could be the miss sensor or wiring....

idk what it could be but a question on the side....how many miles is left when it DOES come on?Comment
-
normally I get around 410 miles to a tank and it comes on around 380Comment

According to honda i think its around 30-40 miles if i remember correctly. Its a moot point because our sensors arent very accurate after 17-20 years. When my light comes on it means a gas station better be within 5 miles of your location or your fucked.Originally posted by tm123 View PostComment

Yeah mine never comes on either
When u turn your key slightly all your dash lights should come on.... Pretty sure how it works..... good way to tell if any lights are out etc

I've swapped 4-5 different clusters into my car for various other reason and the low fuel light has never worked, I assume the sender in the tank is bad.My Member's Ride Thread

better question
How much gas can you put in at the end of your tank?
My light comes on with 1.5 gallons left in the tank.Comment

light never turns on and ive gone down to the E before I fill up..
also when I turn my key it does turn on and stay on for a second before it turns off..
maybe your sensor is done with, this is an old car and its gona need stuff to be replaced sooner or later..

LOL, you made me spill my drink.Originally posted by Tippey764 View Post
On topic though, Mine turns on and off depending if I'm idling at a light/accelerating/cruising.
When it first comes on it's no biggie for me, like it was said in a previous post ~30-40 miles or however much you get on 1-2 gallons of gas.
Maybe keep a red can of gas in your trunk (Don't know if that's safe long term) the 2-5 gallon kind.Comment

If ur depending on the gas light to make sure u don't run out of gas ur trippin anyways. When ur shit is on E, go get gas.

I usually get another 1/2 gallon in after the pump clicks off by itself. Your needle is probably off a little. Let it get below the E mark next time if you want to run it almost dry.....Originally posted by 4thgentuner View Postu top it off till it spills out??

I went 50 miles on my light before I filled it up
Its wierd how it turns on very dimly depending on how "low" it is then it will get brighter.
Wierd how you guys have problems, my sedan had a gummed solid gas tank and mine still worksComment
