1998 frontier fuel low light never works |
|
|
Is the fuel low indicator ever supposed to work on the 98 Frontier?
My 88 nissan truck's did.
The Haynes repair manual schematic shows that it should never work - a
ground on one side of the light and a variable resistor tied to ground in
the fuel sending/sensor unit.
The bulb is good.
All similar Nissan models tie the fuel low indicator bulb to power and use a
switch in the fuel sending/sensor to ground it, lighting it up.
What's up?
TIA

I don't get the point of those lights - I have one in my '88 pickup and I've
never had it go on, as I've never been that low on gas. Why not just fill
up at a quarter tank or whatever and not worry about it?
