Default Electrical problem

Okay one more problem to list. Really 2 problems. The turn signals don't work, I am thinking it is an open circuit. I don't think it is the switch because both sides don't work or am I wrong? The warning light near the door light in the dash the light looks ((Like it has brake lights on in the picture of the warning lamp)) What is this warning light. I have lost my manual and the haynes manual don't show any of the warning lights on the dash.

With the turn signals try replacing the 7.5A Turn fuse. It's possible for it to look fine but still have a break. Then check the Hazard switch. The turn signals are powered from a different fuse, but their power runs through the switch. If the switch is damaged or missing the turn signals won't work either.

The warning lamp on the far left (looks like a courthouse or a bird cage) is connected to a sensor in the coolant overflow reservoir. It comes on when the level is too low. If it keeps coming on, after you refill the reservoir the required level, it's an indication that you're loosing coolant and may indicate a BHG.

I got it fixed the hazard unplugged it self. Thanks I have another question it is with the oil pressure gauge is this electrical or mechanical its pointer stays at the bottom. I might have to replace something, is there a way to check the gauge with a DVOM or is it mechanical, and needs another way to check it?

There's a wire that connects to the oil pressure sender. It just clips on and it's not the most robust connection. I'd start with checking there first. The sender is a small metal canister with a brass contact sticking out like a thumb tack. There's a rubber boot that is usually covering both contact and sender body. The sender is just in front of the oil filter, a little higher though right beneath the exhaust manifold.

How do you put up a picture? I took the picture of the warning light, just don't know how to put it up on the page.
