Hi anyone
I have a 2001 Mercury Sable. The light for the fuel indicator is out.

You've got to pop out the instrument cluster to get to it. I'm not sure specifically about that model, but most instrument clusters I've seen can be removed by a few screws on the front of them. Then its just a matter of popping the bulb out, and Bob's your uncle.

I think it's British in origin. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I kinda like keeping stuff like that alive, ya know?
