mine doesnt. neither does my clock. mazda electronics are generaly crap. the little solders are always breaking or going out or whatever. its a pretty common thing for rx7s to have little electrical bugs like that.

Mine does work too, only too well 
It lights up all the time, because I fill up only when I go out of Athens. In the city, I like to keep the tank up to 1/4 (and the car is much lighter of course 
)

1) you never reached the "low fuel" level,
2) the wiring is damaged,
3) the floater itself is damaged,
4) aliens have killed your car, and ressurected it to do their bidding

mine does a weird on off thing. It will sorta fade in for a bit then go away. When it does that I know I've got maybe 30 miles of gas left before it stays on completely.

mine came on once when i got really low, like under empty...
it might not be conected because the person that owned the car before me took the gas tank of to get it cleaned out, i hope he just didn't plug the wire in

like everybody sez it is either broke or you havent got low enough on fuel to turn it on, you can drain your tank slowly till it comes on then measure how much fuel you have left then you know how far you can go when it comes on .

My sendin unit is broken also. But I did take it apart to see if i could fix it.. The problem i saw was that all the wire in the middle of the coil were broken.. My gas needle works from F to exactly 1/2 as soon as it touches 1/2 it drops to E. I don't know if my low fuel light still works I refill at 1/2 tank
