dmoralesbello Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I just picked up a square, red "FUEL" warning light that fits in the square slot below the radio in the middle of the center console between the blue "REAR DEFOGGER" and the red "FASTEN SEAT BELTS" warning lights. I'm happy to be able to remove the blank plate I have in that spot and place that "FUEL" light. I realize that it will be redundant but I rather have the non-functional warning light than the blank plate. The question is: What model Z had that red "FUEL" light in that spot? I've looked at every picture I could of all the different Z center consoles and can't find one with that warning light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Early 280Z's had that until the light was incorporated into the fuel gauge. It's driven by the capacitance sensor on the fuel level sender. Lights up to warn of low fuel so you don't run the pump dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoralesbello Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 I had this topic running on the Classic Z forum as well and one of the members figured out that it actually comes form a 1975 Z. It fits into the bottom center square slot. In 1976 it was moved to the top right rectangular slot by the ac vents and a blank plate was put in it's old spot.

Tony D Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 "1975 Z" A Euro Spec 1975 260Z did not have one. A US Spec 1975 260Z did not have one (Yes, they do exist...regardless of the 'one year' paradigm.) A 1975 JDM Fairlady Z did not have one. An EARLY 280Z had them. That being a 1975 280Z. Not every 1975 Z is a 1975 280Z. In fact, there were a lot of 1975 260Z's out there (the entire world's production outside North America, in fact) that did not have EFI. In fact, JDM cars did not get it until their 1976 production run, and never had the little light. Expanded enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
