Anybody know how this is triggered? Mine seems to come on randomly so I need to do a bit of fault finding.
Oh, and yes it has got fuel in it! Filled it up yesterday and light went out. Started it today and light came on again Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

Ah, thanks for that. Mines a '92 as well and there are only two wires to the tank sender, which suggests other electrickery at work. I've had all of the dash in bits, so it could just be a duff connection somewhere, but I'd like to narrow it down a bit.
Where abouts in the loom should I be looking for the circuit? Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

If I recall correctly the PCB wotsit was behind the clocks somewhere.
Try following the wire from the low fuel light itself back into the loom if you can. |

Ok, thanks, I'll take a look.
Ironically, I may have accidentally found the problem though. Just been out for a run (fish & chips ) and I had trouble starting it. Turn the key to start and it would fire but die as the key was released from the start position. All of the dash lights died, too. However, a bit of key jiggling and it started straight away, which tells me that the ignition switch is worn. Given the way that the fuel light seems to reset after starting, it may be related. Anyway, fitting a new ignition switch is now in my future. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?
