Undo the four wire plug at the fuel tank bulkhead.
If LOW FUEL continues to glow, you have a short in the wiring.
If not, you have a bad tank sensor.

At least a light comes on.

Half the time when I pull my pull my e-brake, the light doesn't come on.

Then half of the the time that it does come on, it doesn't go off when I release it.

lol, but seriously...S4's have a fuel light??

Yeah, I knew about that one. It signals a clogged cat or other issues that may overheat it. The sensor is under the passenger seat somewhere.

I've never had my fuel light come on.
