What light is next to the door ajar idiot light? Its an orange light and it comes on when you turn the key over also. Its on the right side of the speedometer/tach cluster. While im driving it pops on and off every now and then...what light is this for?
 
Low fuel? Does it look like a gas pump?


Don't people have owner's manuals anymore? It has a diagram of the entire dash and every warning light.

Most 11 year old cars dont have the manuals any more, mine didnt. It is either the low coolant light or the low windshield washer fluid light . Those would be my guesses. The first time my ww/fluid light came on it took me 2 days to figure it out. :tease: ME

Stolen shamelessly and without permission from this thread, where Defiant goes nuts. :)

I believe this is the light you are referring to. (And I went out to the garage and double-checked just to make sure.)

Whats weird is his is doing the same thing mine did. It comes on when I first start the car, 2 minutes after driving it shuts off?? I check the levels and its always nice, green, and full up near the cap, so WTF?????????

By the way, that shit was funny as hell.
 
The sending unit is probably broken or on its way out.

Does it look the Abe lincoln memorial? If so its the low coolant light but on every 1G ive been in that is on the left side of the guage panel the low fuel is on the right.


Ill sell you a manual out of my 92 laser:D
 
It means that you managed to purchase one of Zeus' old vehicles, the z-car, and that the parthenon is in trouble.

That light has been on for most of my life and I don't really expect it to go off soon.
OMG That would be alot of idiots.

Mine flickered on and off through the 90's but has been on solid since 2000.
