Ed,
Go figure. The '95's and '97's have the low fuel indicator, but not on the
'96. Oh-nooooo! I walked 4mi. one night because my fuel sending unit went
bad (told me I still had 1/4 tank), and there was no low fuel indicator.
Maybe I should take that low washer sensor and mount it in the fuel tank?

Just a Question,
Does anybody know why DC decided that it was more important to know when you
are low on Windshield Washer Fluid, than when you are about to run out of
gas? It's very annoying to have that "Washer Fluid Low" warning light
staring at me when I am sitting on the highway and out of fuel! A "Low Fuel
Warning" light would be nice. I never had to walk four miles to a gas
station because I had bugs on my windshield!?! I haven't run out of gas yet
but...
I also heard that it is not good to let the fuel level drop below 1/4 full
because the fuel pump will suck air around corners, is this truly "BAD" for
the pump?
thanks for letting me rant
Ed
P.S.
I know "Idiot Lights" are for people who can't read gages, But, I feel it's
a matter of importance, and it's been a pet peeve of mine.
