Title: Fuel warning light.
Post by: rybes on April 08, 2019, 08:58:30 AM
How do I make the fuel warning light come on? Changed all the bulbs for leds at the weekend and want to check the bulb is the right way round so I can fit a resistor to make it work properly

It's not a float or plunger style, but rather a solid brass plug, so I'm guessing being submerged must change the resistance or complete a circuit?
Wiring diagram may show this by the type of symbol?
Put the old bulb in and connect its two leads and see if it comes on?

Rybes,

I was under the impression that the fuel light was the only one you can't change for an LED, so I left mine as a bulb, but I suppose in theory with a resistor inline it should work. Not sure how many ohms you need tho.

Never thought about joining the leads together.
Yeah ya right gav. I left the bulb in on my other tiger but this one I want an led. As for ohms I'm working at the moment with an electrical genius so I'm hoping hell know. Then I'll post it here so everyone else knows too
