Very quick easy question
Hey guys, brand new to the Corvette family (posted an intro).
Question, I have the bad LCD issue, and will send it in for fixing. In the mean time, I am using my Garmin as my speedo.
Question, is there a "low fuel" light on a 1991 vette? If so, that would help a lot as I do not know my gas level.
Thanks!

No audible alarm or light system....... fuel reserve is shown on the dash (fuel mode) as bars when the parking lights/head lights are on.
When the display is down to the last two bars, the message RESERVE will appear on the left of the gage. Without a working dash,
you are in trouble.
Warning.... don't let the fuel get too low as fuel cools the fuel pump.

[QUOTE=toochowed;1588371297]a couple bangs to the dashboard turned it right back on![/QUOTE]
I can understand your enthusiastic glee........ but, don't consider banging the dash as a permanent fix. If the dash stays illuminated,
that is great, but if the illumination is sporadic, time to search for
loose connections, broken wires, etc.
Good luck

Just a humble suggestion..... if you don't own an OWNER'S MANUAL,
or FACTORY SERVICE MANUALS (FSM), check eBay for availability.
It is obvious that you have the mechanical/electrical skills to service your vette. Banging on the dash is where most of us started, and some never migrated.

Lol, yeah I got one on the way, picked one up from Ebay. I figured it was a good place to start to just know my current gas. Its being mailed in next week for a formal refurb!

You have to take the cluster out to send it in, why not inspect it before shipping. My 92 would do the same thing; smack the dash and came back on. I found a micro crack in one of the pins on the main cluster to harness connection. I desoldered and resolderd the pins and it now works. GOOD LUCK!
