Any suggestions on that? problem?

you probably have bad wiring somewhere, or the wire is being grounded when it shouldnt be, whatever it is you should check it out
OP: I have been asking around for 6 months about this same problem. I have been told by 3-4 people that their fuel light bulb comes on at ignition ACC before ON
In my coupe that I have had for 10 years, similar to you, I have 89 HUD with SR. my fuel light used to work the first few years. But i never looked to see at that time if fuel light bulb came on at ACC. Everything on my cluster works great. I have checked all bulbs and tried 5 different bulbs in the fuel light socket with nothing working.
I also have an issue with my fuel guage only going up to 3/4 after a fill up, it never did that before.
I would assume after years of daily driving and tracking and abuse, i also think i have a dent in my fuel tank from a jack now too, I also had installed a walbro 8 years ago which is still working great. Nothing I have done has changed the bulb or guage.
A few times my guage went to full, which blew my mind, I thought I had figure it out. But I was wrong.
I tried putting a dohc regular analog cluster in, fuel guage still at 3/4 and fuel light doesnt come on.
In my opinion. I believe it is the sending unit in the fuel tank.
for the 3/4 thing, I bet it has something to do with the floater dislodging or something like that. I think since this thread is so recent, I am going to go pull my fuel pump and check all of that so I can take pics and try to get everyone answers.
Last but not least I bough a 91 Hatch recently and the fuel light is the same bs, doesnt come on.
