Low fuel light won't go out.  New circuit board. Fuel gauge works fine, fairly accurate for a fuel gauge actually.  Fill the tank and the light stays on.  Personally if there isn't an easy fix, I'm pulling the bulb.  Any ideas?

Damn wiper motor still won't work either.  Motor tests fine, new switch and new bypass for the delay behind passenger seat.

Next electrical problem is going to be tackling the blower...is it the motor, the switch?  Stayed tuned, same vette time, same vette channel

Now when you say new circuit board�are you talking about the printed circuit board or the little squarish green "low fuel module" circuit board? 
If your talking about the little green squarish module, did you put the bulb in the holder on the module and then installed the whole piece into the back of the cluster the same way old one was?
