What could be a possibility that my low gas, low coolant, low oil and so on sensors are not working?

only a few lights come on when i start the car, but they don't do their job of telling me when im running low on something. could it be a fuse?

Can't say I've ever seen this before.
Any recent changes that could have triggered this, such as anything to do with the dashboard/gauge cluster, or did it just happen out of the blue?
Also, if you noticed, did they all seem to stop working at the same time, or was it 1 by 1?

I just bought the car in April and i found out that it had a lot of minor problems with the electrical,so i am guessing it just happened, but i didn't mind because i basically stole the car for a 1000 bucks. does the light come on when it is absolutely low on the specific fluid because my defrost came on when i ran out. could it be that the bulb is burnt?

thats... odd. i've only had my cluster out one time on my 89, so i don't recall if the circuitry is continuous or not, to make something like you're suggesting possible.

It's worth looking into, though. Taking the cluster out isn't terribly hard.
