LOW ON FUEL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON??????? help

chapin · Nov 19, 2007

I was wondering if there is a fuse or something that make the gas light come on.
WHY? I know i shouldnt drive the car with the gas that low, but i needed to cross the bridge running late i figure i got about .5 of a gallons of gas before i ran out but the light never came on and i run out of gas. i try it again to see but it has not come on it all. so i was wondering if there is a fuse or do i have to replace the bulb or something like that. Keep in mind my car already has 178,000 miles on it. thanks if anyone can help, did a search found nothing.

Do we even have a fuel warning light? I have driven my car to below the E probably down to 1/2 or 3/4 of a gallon and it has never come on. I have pushed it as far as I could just to see if it exists and it has never come on. Is there even an icon for it on the console?
