fuel light not working

[windscreenman1]

Hi all
Been through the engine (head gasket, oil seals , new filters, oil ,anti freeze , throttle cable, temp sender)
Got it all working as it should exept fuel warning sensor, but refuse to pay £92 for a new one from triumph
Does anyone know where I can get one cheaper
Thanks

Did it work before you did all the other jobs?

Might be worth checking the 2 connectors, they do get corroded.

The short answer is rf no it didnt it was another job on the list of to dos this bike was bought as a project but the list is getting longerwill check  electrics next thanks rf

Might be worth checking the bulb too, before you replace the sender.

If the bulbs have been changed, are they LED`s?

Reason is, an LED bulb won`t work for the low level fuel light, something to do with resistance or something, so make sure it`s an ordinary bulb.

You can make the LED work, but a lot of hassle, if i remember someone on here did a "how to" on making it work.
