Yep, that's correct; I don't have one. I suspect it may have something
to do with the new OBD-II computers in '96? '96 was the first year of
OBD-II, and the computers were very different than in '95, then in '97
they completely redesigned the gauges and the way they are manipulated by
the computer. Maybe we '96ers just got stuck in the middle, and having
no low fuel light was some sort of compromise as a result of being in a
state of transition?
