That light means something is amiss in your central warning system circuit. Any other lights lit or flashing?

Updated. thanks to IXLOR8 the solid light has been fixed. still having a bit of a problem with it though. When i put it in gear, it comes on and blinks. along with that the oil pressure drops to 0 and the red light on the oil pressure guage flashes. What would cause that?
thanks, steve |

oil pressure goes low(er) due to rpms coming down when you put it into gear.
my exclamation point comes on when the parking brake is not released. yours may be doing the same. don't trust your gauges unless you have verified that they are accurate. if the oil pressure is consistantly low when driving, it may just be bad instruments. the cluster has a metal strip that all of the gauges are connected to, and if the contacts are corroded (most seem to be with age), just clean them and they should operate better. hope this helps----- rhjames
