Mine just started doing this nonsense at the 1/4 mark last night. Drove to a movie with roughly 1/4 tank. Left a couple hours later and saw my gauge buried. Kept fluctuating all over the place, from pegged bellow E to 1/4 tank. Really annoying. Anyone have an idea as to what causes this?
And to the original poster, my current fuel light doesn't work (haven't checked bulb/contact points yet) but on my past 2 S13's, it does progessively come up to full illumination. Typically it does take very long once it starts, a few miles between dim to fully lit.
On another note, is it safe to say that if your fuel gauge works properly, the low fuel light should work as well.
Happy hunting, and I hope this is resolved. Little issues like this make me want a newer car.
