Default Gas Light in EK

I have a 96 Civic DX hatch

I was just wondering if the Gas warning light acutaully work. When I turn on the ignition I don't notice the gas light come on during the test...

Also, I have never seen it come on when my tank is low. (possible bad bulb?)

So, does the gas warning light suppose to work or is it an empty blank.

Thanks for the help!

Doesn't it only work in JDM cars? I think there was a post long ago about wiring up something inside your gas tank to make that light actually function..

Fuel warning light works fine in my 2000 Si

It comes on when I drive around on E for a while. It will start flickering, and eventually light solid.

When I go to fill up the tank afterwards, it will usually take ~11 gallons.

Mine works...

I'm thinking bulb is either burnt, or you've just never let it get that low.

I haven't seen my gas light go on in about 5 years. I used to see it go on all the time when I was in high school. I have a '97 Civic EX and I bought it new. Either it stopped working or I fill up sooner now.

I also had a 92 CX hatch and I know for a fact that it didn't have one. Hell, the damn thing didn't even come with a passenger side mirror.

gas light works 97 hatch dx motor

.....check your fuse and your bulbs that might fix your problem could be the wiring though.
