I have a 97 Maxima, and my low fuel light just stopped working. Does anyone know if there is a fuse or something that can fix the problem? Thanks, Have a nice day.

If it's just the low fuel light that's died, I'd suspect the lamp before a fuse.If you've lost other instruments/lights, it might be a fuse.

There is a 10A fuse but it is common to other warning lamps. The FUEL warning lamp is connected in series with the the Float Switch mounted in the fuel tank together with the fuel sending unit. The problem could be a busted lamp, defective float switch or an open circuit. Access to the fuel tank is by removing the rear passenger seat.
