Hi,
can anyone tell me what the big red light with an exclamation mark in it
means? It's the one on the far RIGHT of the instrument panel... it's not the
"check engine light". I didn't even know this red one existed until it
started coming on and off today..

what's it telling me ?

Thanks!
Mike

I don't know that light.  That's strange.

I think it's telling you to check your owner's manual to see what that
light means, maybe?  Dunno...let us know when you find out.

Hi Dave,

I've never seen the light either :-) I'm at one end of the country, my
manual's at the other so I thought maybe you or Grunff might know.

cheers!

It seems it may be brakes. My friend just called - he has a Bently manual
but the light isn't in there! He says it's brakes and ABS on his..

Cheers

I've got the Bently manual too, but it's also not where I am.  I don't
think '87 _had_ ABS, and I think that light says "ABS".
On my '86, on the right, is the brake fluid reservoir light, and
then the "reset the emissions switch" light, but neither of those are !'ing
at me.

How's your brake fluid level?  Been a while since you did pads?

Don't you just love international signage?
Equally ununderstandable by all!

There's a dutch girl in wooden shoes, waving what looks like a cat.
What's that telling me, exactly?

From a '88 900 owner's manual

#4 text says; low brake fluid level in the reservoir.

I say; check level and float switch in the reservoir cap.

Or even check pad wear as that causes level to drop too.
