Default Low fuel light Reset....?

Car back together after tearing dash out to replace brake booster. There had been several burnt out bulbs, I replaced all, once battery connected and car started Low Fuel light was lit...for good reason, was about on empty. Added 5 gal. of fuel which brought gauge up but light is still lit, is there a reset or do I need to add a certain amount of fuel? Some say they can change a booster in 10 minutes...me, about a week but happy it is done and a lot of things fixed and cleaned up under there.

Did you just insert a bulb into the socket for the low fuel, or does it have the circuit board with light ?

Thanks "righthanddrive" but don't know what that is or where it would be located, was not lit before pulling dash but could have been burnt out bulb, had quite a few not working.

The low fuel socket actually has 3 contacts, the little brain board twists into psnel with a bulb in it ,
Wilkcox sells a replacement that is better than orginal that you cant get anyway.

If you don't have the module, just remove the bulb. I repaired my bad module and at about 3 gallons in tank the light comes on.

It is possible to access the fuel board through the glove box opening. Just take the box out.
