Default low gas light wont turn on

Hey guys,

Just as the tittle says, my low gas light wont turn on, I replaced the bulb and it still won't give me the warning. Anybody know whats the problem?

Also I'm trying to find whats making my car bounce at around 20-30 mph. It feels as if the tire had a titty or bump on it. I took the car to get the tires balanced thinking it would solve the problem but it didn't. Car feels so much better and smoother at higher speeds though.

Thanks...

a. Your gas weren't that low so the light didn't turn on? - I had the same problem where the needle dropped SO LOW but the light didn't turn on until much much later.
b. Check your suspension and alignment. Balance doesn't really solve the problem if you have the bumps. Did you check your tires for bumps?

a. Did the needle get past the bold line? How much gas is left when the light goes on

B. I do need an alignment but I dont think that would be the cause of the bumpy ride. I hope its just the tire and not something from the suspension.

a. my light has never worked on my 99 accord. don't worry about it, as long as you fill up your car when it gets low you have nothing to worry about. just use common sense.
