I noticed on my fuel gauge there is a light that never lights up. It is next to the fuel pump. It is an arrow that points to the side of the car that the gas cap is on. I tried looking at different pictures on the net, but could not find it. I can see it on my car, but it does not light. Does anyone else see this on their car?

 

It reminds you on which side of the car your filler cap is.

 

Yep I have it on my MINI also, but so far haven't seen it light up. It's hard to see, so you think that if they wanted it to be useful it would light up.

 

Well, I can confirm that it does not light up the closer you get to empty.

 

Have you tried leaving the fuel cap off or furl filler door open to see if it might light up then?

 

Yep, most auto manufacturers have this arrow now days. Doubt it lights up, was probably made subtle to not draw attention to it.
