The low fuel light should be under the fuel gauge.

Oil maybe?

Pictures do things that words cannot.

It would really help!

i checked my oil finally it was raining here in houston when i posted, im a quart and a half low so thats it!! the reason i had to ask was cause i just extended my wiring harness and it kinda threw me off when i finally turned the car on and saw the light, but since i went single turbo ive been working out some oil leaks and cooling issues..

Its for your flux capacitor! It came here in a time machine that you invented!

X1483920513 on the oil light.


Actually, one time I left my oil cap off and drove a half hour.

The light came on, so I stopped at a gas station, popped the hood and was like you have to be joking.
