Low Fuel Light Does Not Work
Hello,
My low fuel light does not come on when I am low on gas. It does not come on during the "lamps test" when the car is first turned on either, but I dont think this is one of the lights that are supposed to light up. Is there a way to find out if it is a burned out bulb or faulty system? If it is a faulty system, what can be done about it? Thanks!

No reason to double post. Sometimes it irritates other members.
First thing that comes to my mind is the bulb itself since it does not come on when the car is first turned on. I am not 100% sure it is supposed to though... I'll have to check mine next time I crank my car.
I have no idea how to check the bulb though.....
I imagine it would involve removing the dash to get to the cluster (not fun)

My light has worked once in the last year that I've owned it.
Getting to the cluster is easy, remove the screws in the black trim around the cluster, remove the screws holding the cluster in, then pull out the cluster and unplug the 3 harnesses.
Remove screws/clips to open the cluster and remove the trim around the gauges (DO NOT MESS WITH THE GAUGES OR NEEDLES), then just swap the bulb with one you don't car about/replace with a new one/solder a properly resisted white LED.
Certainly not as difficult as removing the cluster on a 94-97 Accord.
