Fuel Warning Light brightens and dims, doesn't just come on
1997 Accord EX wagon
When I run low on fuel, the fuel light comes on but it doesn't just turn on and stay on. It will brighten and dim based on how little fuel I have left.
For example, when I just start to run low on gas the light will come on very dimly. It is hard to see. In fact as I go up and down hills, it will brighten and dim as the gasoline sloshes around and affects whatever float valve is in there.
As I continue to drive without filling up, the light will gain in brightness until it is eventually at full brightness and going up/down hills doesn't affect it.
It's a little funny, but I suspect this is not how the light should function. What can I do to make the light come on and stay on at full brightness from the get-go?
Thanks for your help.
