You're kidding, right?
My 84SE has never had a low-fuel light. it has an 'Add Coolant' light, and an 'EXH Sys Heat' light, but never had a low-fuel light...
If you get that hooked up - post for everyone to see!

its supposed to do that
On the tanks bulkhead fitting area there is a connector, it is for the level sender and the low fuel light. If you remove the drivers rear wheel and remove the plastic splash guard you can see it on the tank. Judging from this thread you aren't the only person that needs to climb under there .

1. Long left bank turn on highway = take note
2. left on street corner = ok...need to fill up
3. Accelerating in a straight line = Where's a gas station?!
4. On all the time = oh f***.

Pull the connector and inspect the contacts on the tank, and the contacts in the connector, you will see the problem. Typically the spade on the tank side of the connector has dissolved into a green dust and is long since gone. I have soldered a new copper spade onto the small nub that remains and coated the whole thing with di-electric grease to remedy the problem on several cars.

To test the light, ground the Yellow w/blue stripe wire in that 3 pin harness and turn teh key on.
The connector has three slots if you look at the end of it, 2 vertical, one horizontal.

pin 1 is the wire you want.
If the light illuminates then it is the sending unit, if the light fails to illuminate it is a failure between the connector and the bulb, or the bulb itself.

Every Series 3 I've seen has the wiring for a low fuel light.

This is good info. My low fuel light is also not working. I was going to replace the sending unit to fix the problem because mine is all green dust on the fuel light connector. I do have a working fuel gauge. I'm going to try soldering a wire in and see if that fixes it.
