With Conventional Instrument Cluster

LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING

Low Fuel Level Warning Switch






The low fuel warning feature is available on vehicles with a conventional instrument cluster. These clusters will have the low fuel level warning switch, which:
1. Has additional circuitry to turn on a LOW FUEL warning indicator when the fuel gauge shows approximately one-eighth tank of fuel remaining.
2. Is not designed to proveout the LOW FUEL warning indicator; however the indicator may flash ON momentarily just after ignition switch is turned to RUN.
3. Is a small printed circuit board which latches into a pocket on the back of the instrument cluster.
The electrical connections for ignition, ground, input from fuel sender, output to fuel gauge, and Low Fuel warning output are made through a spring-type connector on the low fuel level warning switch to the flex circuit on the instrument cluster.

There are no provisions for calibration or adjustment of the low fuel level warning switch.
