- To start bulb test, turn ignition off, then on. Observe low fuel indicator. If low fuel indicator does not illuminate for 3-10 seconds, replace instrument cluster. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS - CONCORDE, INTREPID & 300M article. If low fuel indicator illuminates for 3-10 seconds, fault may be intermittent.
