I'm not even sure that the DX's came wired with dummy lights....Just reset your trip odometer. Or watch the gauge, and when it gets low, put more gas in Nice run-on sentence

i have a 00 dx with an si cluster, mine worked for a while, but just stopped one day when i ran out of gas

and no body knows how to fix it

DiRT!

try a new bulb

pdiggitydogg

try not letting it go that low??
A gas light is pretty stupid, if you ask me

97 civic ex here with stock cluster, i have NEVER seen the low fuel light come on and i have run it very low on occasions. I also find that the guage is rather inaccurate. It will fall fast after the halfway mark and then come back up a little. But thats a different story.

I have a 98 DX with a Si cluster and my light works just fine

I have 96 EX, & my light works fine. I'm planning on swapping in Si cluster this weekend. I usually drive until light comes on, so I'll let you know what my experience is. As far as I can tell, there's usually about 2 gallons left in tank when light comes on.

hey when u guys installed the 99-00 si cluster or the CTR cluster..

what kinda wiring changes did u guys have to make or was it just plug and play ?? hmmm thankss

keyboredwarrior

I have the same problem, but its no biggie.

ive got a 97 civic hx w/ a 99 si cluster in it. ive had it in there for about 3 yrs now and have run my fuel down alot of times causing the light to come on. i have never had a problem with it ever. the 99-00 si cluster should be plug and play, no need for any wiring to be done. something must be up with your car. you said you have an CX EK? coupes didnt come in cx trim, dx, lx, ex, hx only i believe....

Beatkidd

did you check the bulb..may sound stupid but it could your problem

or hook up a battery to the light and see if its working

boosted96midorihatch

o well i guess its just cause i have a cx cause i know the bulb works but o well no big deal just when you do so much to your car then you just start trying to find things to do like this weekend im putting map lights from a prelude sh in my 96 hatch thanks everyone for answers

From what I was told the cx does not have the sender for the low fuel light. The guy I bought my 99ex cluster from told me this. I put it into a 98 dx hatch and the low fuel light works fine for me. The guy I bought it from had it in his 96 cx and the light didn't work for him.
