low fuel light coming on with 1/4 tank left.
About 2 days ago I changed the backlight color of my gauge by following the steps in the tech section.
This morning while driving to work my tank was at 1/4 left but then the low fuel light came on....any ideas?
This was typed up on my cell phone....please excuse any crazy formatting....sorry!

Sorry to post a follow-up on your thread... but... Is the fuel light triggered by the needle? I assumed that it was triggered by a sensor in the fuel tank, which would make the needle position irrelevant.
Thanks!

I believe it is triggerd by a sensor because if you think about it StarSk8er said that the light came on when the needle read at 1/4th tank. So in reality I bet he had an almost empty tank but he bumped the needle when changing his gauge. I would do like was mentioned previously, fill up (which will probably come to 10 gallons), and move your needle to the top notch(full).

when is the fuel light supose to go on in relation to the fuel gauge?
mine comes on at 1/8th tank and strangely enough, when i fill up full, my fuel gauge doesn't move off of full for about 90miles... i'm starting to think our gauge is either meant for a 10gallon tank or an 8gallon tank...

At full I get about 85 to 90 miles to the 3/4 mark, about 175 to 180 to half and around 240 to 250 to 1/4.
I was getting better milage until ethanol became so prevelent!!! Now I struggle to get 30 to 31.
