Fuel Gauge Lights?
Looked in my owners and drivers manual, (yes it came with the truck!) to find out what the 2 red areas at the bottom of the fuel gauge are for? It did not mention anything or I could not find anything about them. So what are they for?

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?
Mine still work. One is for the Ebrake. Don't remember what the other one says, sorry.

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?
I think it's brakes and alternator. I think, I know as stated above it's brakes for one.

 My temp one isn't hooked up to anything, I added a gauge for that  *It also may depend on your cluster. Mine are a 3 hole cluster.

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?
I don't think that light is for the e-brake. When I took my e-brake out a couple years ago (PO hacked the crap out of the lines) there was nothing electrical connected to it anywhere????
There is, however, a wire that runs to the propotioning valve, which, when the fluid gets low, the light comes on.

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?
I can only speak for the 7 hole cluster.....One's a light that detects a prob at the master cylinder and the other detects a prob with charging system.

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?
^On a 3 hole cluster, the "generator" light comes on when there's a problem with the charging system. It's located in the center hole with the turnsignals. At the moment I can't remember what the other light is....

Re: Fuel Gauge Lights?
the one is brake, as indicated, and the other is not charging, it's temperature.
On a 7 hole dash (aux guages) there is no bulb installed in there. |
