Stupid Light

White87Turbo · 05-10-2006, 01:56 AM

So I have recently rebuilt an 87 Turbo Targa Top, 5 speed with a 7m-gte. I have a light up on the dash that looks like a temple sort of thing to the left of the gauges. Does anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it. I also cant get the back lights to turn on and wonder if there is a switch or something i have to get so i can see how fast im driving at night. Sorry, Im still pretty ignorant to how this thing works even though i rebuilt the engine and a major part of the interior.

Thanks for any advice you have.

Coolant light. Theres a little dimmer switch under the panel on the left side of the steering wheel, thats either turned down or broken and you need a new one.

add some water to your overflow bottle. And replace the dimmer switch in your dashboard. The light on is usually a signal that your leaking coolant thou

There is a leak for sure in it. So Im going to find that tonight and try and get it fixed.

Aside from the coolant leaking leaking, it might also be the HG. That light is sometimes called a BHG light

I have a BHG light on too! Haven't found any leaks yet though. Its funny because I thought I heard a trickling of water the other day and now. The dreaded waterfall sound from the dash too!
