Does any one have a dash wiring diagrams for the low fuel light? I have a console with gauges , low fuel light sender. Does the yellow wire run up to the light socket? If so what wire is on the other side of light socket.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a photo of the back of your cluster with the low fuel indicator location ?


From that I can probably figure it out. The yellow wire is the trigger. I believe it grounds the warning light circuit when low level is reached. The wiring diagram does not indicate exactly how it attaches to the cluster... It only shows that it runs up to the cluster.

See if any of the pics from my thread on .org help. Mine is factory original so I didn't have to trace where the wires went. It looks like yes yellow goes to the light and pink is on the other side going to power.

From above diagram the yellow lead would run to the cluster connector.
When actuated it grounds the low fuel indicator bulb which appears to occupy what would be the TEMP location on a standard cluster. Not certain... but looks like position #2 in the cluster plug. Tracing the cluster ribbon from the plug to the LOW FUEL bulb location would confirm.
The warning bulbs are all powered one side from the ribbon connecting to the pink wire in the cluster connection.
