vmb is correrct, dummy here gave the catalog reference and not the part number. Its FC02-60-960. Sorry for the screw-up.

Hozzman, the parts catalog ('89-'90) does not have both a "gas level" and a "low fuel" sensor. I looked rather hard but could not verify that there is a sensor for the low fuel idiot light. That's why I suspect there is a direct signal from the gauge itself based on the needle's position. That's all I could figure. Maybe someone else has a more detailed electrical schematic.

Also, might it be that a working fuel gauge but no idiot light means the bulb is blown?

 

I have a custom mod to it that makes mine stay on all the time... it's called lack of cash.

 

FC02-60-960=73.55

 

The gas guage sensor is a black box float on the end of a swinging arm that in turn connects to the fuel pump assembly via two nuts.

The Low Fuel sensor is a small bullet looking thing on the end of a fixed arm the in turn is held to the Gas Guage sensor by a single screw.

Laid on it's side with the fuel lines pointing to your right and fuel pump at the bottom, there are three electrical connection points along the bottom of the Fuel Pump Assembly mounting plate. Running left to right, the first connection point is for the Low Fuel, the second for the Gas Guage, and the third is power for the fuel pump itself.

The way it's put together, I can see why they would want to sell two fuel sensors together. But, it would take about 5 minutes to exchange the Low Fuel sensors by themselves (one screw, one nut).

I'm going to try and retrofit the working one (at last use) from my '88 fuel pump assembly into my '91 and see what happens.

Thanks for the extra effort for the part number. I'm also going to price that out with my best sources and report back to complete this information loop.

 

You can only get it as a two sensor assembly. I got a price of $59 plus shipping. So, total cost depends on how much I can leverage my shipping costs against other things I order at the same time. But, could be up to an additonal $10.

 

mine has come on both times the car has been under 1/4 tank

it's so bad to run on a low tank... put more in, you're gona use it anyways.

on my 86 na the only lights that work or that i see is the brake and low coolant. the rest just dont like to work.

 

still works! =)

 

What's wrong with low gas? It's an easy way to shave some weight.

 

Mine works even though I rarely let it go that far. What can I say, I am a poor student.

 

My gas gauge works, but the clock has a mind of it's own. Seems to come on when it feels like it, and also tells whatever time it wants.

 

mines working again. after i had a new fuel pump put in, it acted up, the gas guage too..........it sucked. i ran out of gas while i was at my house.....so i used some lawnmower gas to get me to a gas station. but its all working right again.

 

My gauage doesn't work at all and neither does coolant so I put after market collant gauage. Is there a magnet or something that operates both in the cluster .... Wire diagram picture shows them connected together by some weird coil with a wire going thru it and my warning light is intermittent also lol gremlins

 

Mine works.. but the sending unit coils are falling apart. So I have no idea how much gas I have but I do know when I am low.

 

LOL

It's the standard symbol for a variable resistor. The needle moves as the resistance to current changes.

Thank you for the laugh.

 

Sorry, I'm late to the party...Officially, the low fuel sensor is set to come on when less than 4 gallons remain. Mine does work. The needle is on "E" before it comes on. First, it starts to come on on stops and turns. Then later it stays on. In fact, I dont fuel up untill it comes on.

 

Mine never worked.. its not the light. My Light itself is fine. I guess there is a Diod or somthing. Sorry i forgot the real name of it. But there is a part on the fuel pump casing with a long rod and copper wire going to it. I think its bad.

 

Ha ha smart @$$ it doesn't look like that on Mitchell or no data. Now the one coming from the fuel pump and coolant level sensor looks like variable resistor

 

holy necro thread...

anyways, that sensor is physically attached to the fuel level sender so if you found one new you would be replacing both.

 

Replaced sender pump and coolant senders or sensors as we have about 3

 

Would aftermarket work I read some kind of Chrysler one works but is off a lil bit

 

Mine works even though my clock comes on and off all the time.

 

yes gas light works... but coolant buzzer likes to randomly go off

 

Gas low light works but clock fades in and out as I'm driving
