whos gas light still works?
 

i recently did all the resoldering jobs on my vert but i still cant get my low fuel light to work right. my series 4 86 sport's fuel warning light broke shortly after i purchased it, also.

everyone chime in and tell me....do you have a fuel warning light that operates properly?

Mine still works like new!

I ahve three of these and I didn't even know they had such an beast

Multiple answers
 

'85 SE - Works cause replaced with wrecking yard part.
'88 Vert - Works, always has
'91 Vert - Never worked.
'91 Auto Vert - Never worked
'88 with S5 Gas tank retrofit - Never worked

So, I'm wondering if this is a weak link for S5's?

Here is the real challenge. What is the Mazda Part Number for the "silver bullet" sensor mounted on the end of the long wire like mount... aka THE SENSOR???

Once you pull the fuel pump/sensor assembly out of the gas tank, its a simple one or two screw away from being replaced if that part were in hand.

So, I say again. The real question here is what is the Mazda part number for this little trouble maker???

:confused: :cool:

So, not to be missed.....
 

What IS this little jewel of a sensor part number? This is one repair that is driving me nuts to figure out how to do.

there's a gas light?

mine is almost all time ON :o)

mines an 88 ...works good as new, was on just 5 min ago on the way too school thought i was about to run out of gas :(

Mine works on my '90 just fine. I can even tell that the sensor is on the driver's side because it comes on with about 1/4 tank and a good hard left turn :D

Well, when you park your car on an angle like this, it might effect your fuel level readings! just kidding.

Mine has always worked......knock on wood.

Mine works sometimes, so does my clock and the rest of my idiot light cluster. Seems to just work whenever it feels like it. Guess Im due for a soldering job......

hahaha :D

Mine still works too.

HozzmanRX7 - the "sensor" at the fuel pump is at Section 2 G9 of the Parts Catalog. It is part number 60-960A. Called "Gauge, Fuel Tank"

Presumably it feeds the dash gauge. There must be a split off the gauge itself based on the position of the needle going to the idiot light but I could not find it . Hope this helps.

Mine worked great in my 88 GTU, and it doesn't work at all in my S5 TII. My gas gauge works fine, just the light never comes on.

:wavey:

MINE WORKS I GUESS. IM LOW ON FUEL AND IT FADES IN AND FADES OUT HEY I GUESS IT WORKS! sorry for caps

My low gas light works, and I think it works all the time (usually gas it up at 1/4 tank), and the rest of my idiot cluster works too....

mine fades in and out for a bit then when it stays on all the time I can get around 20 miles in.

Mine work
 

On the 2 of my FC's I've ever had batteries in, and the friend's car I've had borrowed the last 2 weeks works great as well.

did not work in the 85 GSL
worked in the 86 NA
works in the 87 TII

that part # is invalid :(

Mine has never worked since I owned the car. All the other guages etc work. Never spent any time looking for why it doesn't work.

mine works... thank god cuz my fuel gauge doesnt.. :)

the "sensor" at the fuel pump is at Section 2 G9 of the Parts Catalog. It is part number 60-960A. Called "Gauge, Fuel Tank


that part # is invalid :(


Jodoolin....Thanks for the attempt. But, can you (or any one else out there) help clear the confusion further.

Even though they are two separate parts mounted separately, it looks like you have to buy the "gas level float sensor" as well as the "low fuel sensor" as one unit?
