[pics] Low fuel
light circuit board

AM 10/11/2002

I posted in another topic that this low fuel
light socket was hard to get and that I got mine used from
Corvette Central. I got some requests for pics of this thing,
which wouldn't be too hard to fab yourself. So.. here it goes.

I've never seen mine come on. At what point
does it usually light up?

The fuel level sender in the tanks sends out a
signal wich is dependant on the float (a potentio meter =
variable resistor)
The light doesn't come on all of a
sudden, it happens gradually. The signal from the level sender
switches the light and it gets brighter the lower the fuel
level is.

I guess I never let my fuel drop that low I'll have to figure a way to test it out
to see if it works.

I had never seen mine come on. I just figured I
didn't have that option. Now that I have started taking aprt
the Vette I see that I have that little circuit board and
light. This may be a stupid question, but since I have those
pieces, does it mean that I have that option on my car, and
that it just doesn't work? If that is the case, is there a
common problem that causes these not to work, besdies a burned
out bulb?

Mine has only been on once. At that point I thought the
tank was just about dry and that I was running on fumes!! Mine
works, but I never let it get to that point.
I like the
one on our Dodge Dakota better. It comes on around 1/4 or 1/8
remaining. It gives you pleny of
warning.
