Do our cars have a low fuel warning light?

[yellowstang1994]

It might be a pretty stupid question, but i've never seen one on my car and i'm not sure if the indiglo gauges that came with my car cover it up or not. I don't see any place for it, but I figure it'd be the most basic thing to have. I don't really need one that bad, but it was just something I was curious about and it keeps me wondering. Sorry, i'm at work and my cars at home, otherwise I'd go out and check.

My 91 doesnt. When I had my 2001 it did. And now that you ask I dont remember if my 95 did.

+1.no warning.

+2. No low fuel light, but we do have a low coolant light. Perhaps this is what you are thinking of.

yeah my low coolant light likes to go on sometimes... however, my coolant isnt low.. go figure

the one time i ran out of gas i had all kinds of lights on. lol

 

[dstang01]

yup, no light.. found this out the hard way one time coming home from work at 11 pm.. (thought process was something like this.. oh the tank is getting pretty low but ford guages tend to be inaccurate, and the low fuel light isnt on yet so ill be ok)

I too learned the hard way trying to stretch it out too far...

The contacts on the coolant sensor (stuck in the overflow tank) can get corrosion and buildup. The contacts use the coolant to complete an electrical connection, which keeps the light OFF. If no current flows between the contacts, the computer "reasons" that you're low on coolant.

Bottom-line: pull the coolant sensor out of the overflow tank and clean the metal contacts on the bottom.
