Mines w/o a tach. I don't see where there would be one. Every other car my families had, had a low fuel lamp. 96 Contour GL 2.0, ATX "Herman" 101K "A Clean zetec is happy zetec"

Guess you get that with a fairly early model car (built in 1997), or do all SVTs have the red area? And what's the extra color on the dash the pre-98s got?

Well uh, anyway, that fuel pump with arrow is in the light you speak of, so I suppose we don't get it. FWIW the airbag light is inverted (the picture is black and the light is orange) on the pre98s as well. I've never seen any low fuel light either, and I know we've driven our pre98 mystique pretty low before, so there ya have it OTOH, you have the "NORMAL" thermometer 1995 Mercury Mystique 2.0 (125hp of FURY!) 2006 Chrysler 300C 5.7

Wanted to see how many miles I got before I absolutely needed to fill up .. got 338 miles before it turned on.) Brapple: I wonder why, in your gauges, the gas symbol has a little ">" next to it? It wasn't in mine, although it was in my low gas light. ^^ EDIT never mind .. OoTLink says so, had no idea that's what it's for! Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
