Water-In-Fuel Indicator: Description
A water-in-fuel indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles equipped with an optional diesel engine. The water-in-fuel indicator is located above the coolant temperature gauge and to the right of the speedometer in the instrument cluster. The water-in-fuel indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for "Water In Fuel" in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The water-in-fuel indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
