Hey, does the low gas warning light come on with the rest of the idiot lights when you boot up the car in the morning? I think mine might be burned out. Thanks!

i dont think it does. pull out the cluster and take out the bulb if you want to be sure.

i'll check for you next time i turn my car on.

I don't think so either... one way to find out though, keep driving the car w/o filling gas for a couple of weeks. If it doesn't come on, then the bulb burned out

Haha, thanks guys. :P

lol, or you could just sit in your driveway, clean your car, and have the car on at the same time. All the time wqhile the car is near E. if the light doesn't come on, then you have your answer.

no, it doesnt come on when you start the car.

Well here is another gas warning light question.
This is my first car btw, well, when my gas is low, the gas light comes on (fade in then fade out). after awhile it stays on. does it happen to you guys? is this normal?

Yea mine has faded on and off since it was new. Now i dont think it works because i havent seen it on in a few years and i have run really low a few times

Not having the gas light do a self check when you start the car is a pretty obvious mistake by Honda, IMO.

Gas warning lights fade in & out as the sensor floats up and down with the sloshing gas in the tank. Newer cars wait until the sensor consistantly reads low before permanently firing the warning light, but the CL's light will fade in & out as the sensor bounces around.
