I have a dash light on and I'm not sure what its for. The light is directly to the left of my outside temp gauge in the center of the instrument cluster on my 1990 300d w124. It is orange when lit and looks like a jug with low fluid in it. Please let me know what light this is. I have checked all my fluids and thay are all full. I'm thinking that I have a bad level sensor for coolant I don't have a owners manual to refrence so please help return my sanity. Thanx

Blinker fluid.

You're four times

It's hard to

a cell phone.

www.kiva.org It's not like there's anything wrong with feeling good, is there?

Where do I find that in the parts store next to the muffler bearings? I assume the fill is next to the canuter valve.

They are known to go bad. Coolant level sensor. Might just be contacts. You'll need the sensor and seal.

Doesn't the coolant warning look like a radiator? Might be low the low oil warning.

In case it's the oil light -

Yes it does. Coolant light is the first one next to the outside temp gauge. The next one to the left of that is low oil.

sorry for not posting a pic. yes it is the coolant level light thanks sixto. I'll try cleaning things up before a total R&R. thanks again guys!

brake fluid low (except Canada)????

another minus of Ontario--low brake fluid doesn't appear on your dummy lights :-)

Low brake fluid still trips a dummy light. It just looks like (!) instead of saying BRAKE.... The DOT thinks people are too stupid to figure out what warning symbols mean.

ah, gotcha. and here i thought i knew everything there was to know about these cars
