my EG6 been having a problem..for some reason..when my gas is LOW..the light Doesn't light up....anyway to fix this problem??? please HELP..
dont want my car go ran out of gas on me and i wont know

 

I wish I could help you there but you shouldn't always run your car THAT low on gas all the time. You'll kill the fuel pump. Also, that's why the fuel guage was invented. If you're low, you know when to fill up. My car doesn't gas light and haven't had a problem.

??? use your fuel gauge.

My light didnt work either. I mean i wanted it to work just because..i wanted it to freaking work. But i never feared that i would run out of gas. You look at the needle. If the needle is near empty....you fill it up. Unless you're female

 

my car doesnt have a low fuel light. are you sure yours does?

 

yes i'm sure mine does..mine is an SI..and it was working long ago..but recently stop working i dont know why....well yea..i alway's fill it when i see the needle is low..but i just wanted everything to work that's why =P

Yea some do.

Next technology we get will be a soothing calming voice letting us physically know through our speakers that our car is low on gas, because we've become too lazy to look at our gas guages. Can it be done? of course.. very easy.. Why would we need it? Who knows.

 

Well my car can run 20 more miles when the needle hits empty lol

 

Jeez, we need a sticky on basic troubleshooting.

to the OP: Start with the easy stuff. Check to see that the light bulb isn't burned out. Check for continuity between the sending unit and the cluster. Check to see if the sending unit works properly (might be hard without running out of gas). Narrow down the problem to one component, and it should be pretty easy to figure out what's wrong.

 

All this for a little light lol. I'd hate to have tear apart everything just to find out what the problem is. Good luck though!

 

its really not a lot of work.

just depends if you know what you're doing. ie. electrical troubleshooting

usually any car can. I've ran my car close to 100 miles after it's been on DEAD empty. lol that was a nail biter.

 

I bet it is something stupid like the light bulb.

I didn't think people sweated needing everything working to this minor of a detail.

 

Here's the test procedure for a 98 integra gas light; should be the same for any civic:

 

most of them dont work...
you dont need an idiot light to tell you that you need gas...that is why there's a gauge...

That's assuming your gauge works. I used to drive an accord without a working gas gauge, and I'd try to guess by mileage when I needed to fill up. It had a low gas light, and it saved my *** a few times where I would have otherwise run out of gas.

Plus, if I'm in a hurry I'll forget to check the gauge.

 

A new gauge section is under $30 IF the gauge is broken.
Personally I think the whole concept is stupid though. Gauges are better, even the inaccurate Honda ones

 

My civic runs on hopes and dreams...

That's where I was getting at. I just keep asking myself "Do we REALLY need a light to tell us when we're low on fuel?" But hey, it's a luxury and I guess cool to have, but I'd have no use for it.

 

the light bulb's are fine how i know..is wheneva i turn on my car..it light's up..but...after few second it turn's off on me..and whenva my needle is like at empty gas but light doesn't turn on.....and gauge is fine..so i dont know but i rather to have it fix better then not fixin it..in a case i know more about my car

 

my gauge and light work fine, but i see a quarter tank as empty so i never hit the E.
