Putting In A Low Fuel Warning Light

[brett]

bruce,

 

I have a T-18 that is outa the arc 1979 and it has a fuel warning light.

 

I would strongly suggest leaving the original sender alone while it works O.K. and researching the circuit diagram for the electronics needed to go between the sender from the tank to the actual guage on the dash. do a google search maybee

I've found a wire from the fuel tank to a spare light socket in the instrument cluster in my KE30.

 

I put a light bulb in the lower right hand side of the instrument cluster in the spare socket, then earthed out the wire on the fuel tank, and the light came on.

I figure that this could be the wire for the low fuel warning light, which connects to the fuel sender, since I found the connection end near the fuel tank, along with the wire for the fuel gauge. Though, its not connected, and there is no second terminal to plug this wire into the fuel sender; just a single terminal for the wire for the fuel gauge (yellow with red stripe).

The wire was probably there as an option, and the KE30 didn't get the fuel sender with the low fuel sensor.

Hi,

Just a quick note on my KE30 on the right hand side of the dash where you said the hand brake light is and 2 blank spots. my car has 1 with hand brake in it and the second light says brake for your normal brakes so you can tell if there on or low pads I think. As the bulb in it has blown so I need to replace it so I can see what it does..lol

So I just though I would add that as then there is the third spot where there is nothing so must of been another factory option to get it filled??

the second brake light is a low warning light for the brake fluid level in the master cylinder.
