Dear All
My first post here, I hope you'll all be kind to me as I'm a real novice on all things electrical!
To try and keep it brief..
I've recently changed the dashboard on a motorcycle, the down side to this is I've lost the low fuel warning light, this obviously comes one when there's a few litres in the tank, my interpretation of the wiring diagram is the fuel pump assembly contains the level gauge, a resister that gives low ohms when the tank is full and high ohms when empty, this resistance is [was] monitored by the original dashboard and switched on the light when a certain ohms reading was reached.
Now I’ve lost this feature, is there a simple circuit I can create to replicate this with an independent light? As I don't know the original ohms reading I'd also like to be able to adjust the trigger point somehow
Many thanks for help with this
Paul
