Celica Forums General Discussion General Fuel door open light

I am just wondering I have a fuel door label on the dash board, Is it suppose to light when the fuel door has not been closed. I have opened purposely the fuel door , start the engine and there are no indicator which lights.
Is there a fuse or a switch that I should check ??

LOL...that's what I thought too...but I'm sure it's just telling ya which side of the car the fuel door is on There'll be a little arrow pointing to the side your fuel door is on

mine is always on

Ditto dude.

Hahaha I fell for that when I first bought my car, I also was wondering why the gas pump was always lit up as well

lol i fell for that 1 a week ago and iv had my car for a few months. had to look in the handbook and wow, did i feel like an idiot

mine is always on too. is it supposed to be?

Yes it just tells you what side the fuel door is man.

didnt know that until on day i stared really hard at it until it clicked in my head

Seems like a pretty silly feature to me.

Yeah hahahah same here, one day I had rented a car and saw it on there also...and I put two and two together and figured it out hehe.

It is kinda silly to have that...but as I found when I rented a car, it made it easier to get gas and I didn't look like an idiot parking alongside a pump on the wrong side of the car. I can't think of any other reasons it would help.

i think this "problem" screwed with about 97% of the people who own a celica.

i took mine by the dealership and was like what the...

I was never fooled per say. I thought it was an indicator light, but I never looked at it and though that I forgot to close my door. It does make sense as a convenience feature on a rental, but I would hope that one would not need to rely on that if they owned the car (unless of course you're Jay Leno, and drive more cars than there are in the world.)

Cool , I thought that there was some problem with my car, it could be a nice feature though just informing you that the fuel door is not closed or not properly closed.

Yeah that's what I thought. it just lights up when you're low on gas. I thought, damn mine is broken already.

YES, IT IS ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE ON, BUT IT IS NOT. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE ORANGE LIGHT IS NOT ON.HOPE IT HELPS

There is no light.

At first I thought it was on, though it was during the day. Then when night came, I was like, where is the light? Next day, I thought it was on, and wondered why it comes on during the day and turns off at night. I was going to take it to the dealership and complain, but then after I looked closely, it was paint and not a light. I, like most of you, feel stupid. jajajajaja

haha, i was a good information to know for our celicas, good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
