if it looks like a a gazeebo or a house kind of, thats your low coolant light. Check your coolant level and fill it up.

Do you mean "Merry-Go-Round"? Greecian Temple? Circus Tent? Rolls-Royce Grille? If so, Dsmed is right, that's coolant level. When it's cold, pull the radiator cap (not on the radiator anymore, of course) and top up the coolant, then half-fill the overflow tank (there next to your nice K&N).
The only "Ferris Wheel" on the dash is the picture of the turbo.
The other light people never can figure out is the windshield washer warning light, for turbos that's the tank under the spare tire, filler in the driver's side rear hatch gutter.
Great thing about International Symbols, they made sure they made no sense in _any_ language.

haha...yea thats what i meant, the circus tent merry go round looking light.

thanks fellas

A 50/50 mix of antifreeze/coolent and water

O man, This thread is funny.

Ferris wheel light... How do I fill the ferris wheel?

I have to admit when I first got my dsm I noticed that light during startups and I had to check the Owners guide.

I thought it was a damn birdcage...took alot of searching to figure out that it was the resivior.

If you have the owner's manual, look at the pretty pictures showing the layout of the dash idiot lights. All will be revealed!! Reading is good!
If it is the 'birdcage', 'castle', 'fort knox', etc. light, then probably the sensor located in the coolant reservoir is signaling you that it's thirsty... so fill it 1/2 way, like he said above.... or the sensor could be stuck.

ha ha.. is that what it is... I have a coolant leak... but I always thought that was the low on fuel light... ha ha ha
