I have a 97 Caravan. Recently I noticed that the low fuel warning light
keep lighting up intermittenly. The light will come on even when the tank
is full. When this happened the fuel gauge will dip a little and went back
to its original position. Is this a serious problem? Is the probelm easy to
fix? Thanks for your help.

I imagine the low fuel sender is separate from what drives the gauge, but I
bet both depend on a common ground wire..

Larry the fuel tank sending unit is bad causing this. You can purchase the
sending unit separate from Chrysler about $130 or buy the complete fuel tank
Module with pump and all for about $400 If the mileage is very high on the
vehicle and you plan on keeping the car you may want to replace the complete
unit.
