Note:
This is my first write up on DIY section , please excuse my English/Grammar

Aim:
To check is the low fuel light work

Required:
Couple of basic tools ,
Spanner set
Screwdrivers
wire to test

1:
Remove the rear seat (check other DIY if you don't know how to)

2:
Remove the access panel by undo those screws


3:
This is the plug that we're looking for , pull the cover off , undo the plug




4:
Here's how to test it ..
- use the spare wire and put it in the plug between yellow/green wire and black wire
- turn the ignition ON , but! not start the car
- if the light is still working , it will show on the cluster




- if the light's not showing , check the bulb in the cluster

5:
if you want to check your fuel gauge ..
- put the spare wire in the plug between yellow wire and black wire
- just see if the needle moving that's all !! do not let it hit the full , this might damage the gauge



6:
That's it , let put everything back

Hopefully , this will help someone who might be interested to know if their low fuel light is working without taking a risk and run it down till there is no fuel at all

See you again next time

Thanks for the DIY man. Will be very helpful.
Sounds like a lot of EK's have the problem of the fuel light not working or the bulb being out so a great way to test.

good writeup before doing all that,, just give the cluster a good o'l little tap,, see it's stuck or anything

[viinnh]

does this work on eg?

[na-118]

works on majority of cars charles,, just to check if it has power source and earth source,, if it does obviously unit will not work

[subie]

Just about to say the same thing , pretty much the same principle on most car ,

just check on your EG , if you have the same plug (photos shown no:3) , then , will be the same procedure

Hope this help
