Has anyone out there had the experience of their "low fuel" light crapping out? In such a situation, it there a "typical" place to start looking for a problem or a prescribed chain of diagnostic steps to take to troubleshoot the problem? I'm not unwilling to get into a little investigation work here, but if there's a "common" point of failure here that I should investigate first, I'd be grateful for any pointers. Cheers! A- | ||

I was told it is in the tank. | ||

Check the sensor in the tank. Generally it's a broken wire. Get them at St Paul H-D. You need to pull the pump. Not a huge deal. | ||

Maybe just a burnt out lamp in the instrument display? | ||

On the fuel pump there is a spot where the wires can chafe and wear through the insulation. There are lots of posts on this. If you search (fuel pump chafing) you will find posts on the problem and repairs/corrections. I had followed some of the suggestions, years ago, as preventative maintenance. | ||

This is an old post from back in 2016 that should help. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/776903.html?1469188196 If you do need the sensor I would hope they are still available new - I got one about 6 months ago. | ||

fuel pump wires chaffing is common problem and cause, sometimes a bit hard to see but easy to resolve | ||

I haven't had time to even get into this yet, but thanks for all the good info. That link to the 2016 post post will be particularly helpful. Cheers! Alex |
