Hi Gloria ...

Any of a thousand things. You should check the engine. Oil OK? Coolant OK? Beyond that, it could be fuel pressure, vacuum, fuel system leak of some kind, et al. You will need to get the code to find out what turned the light on. Best place to get this information if from your regular mechanic who has a scan tool which will plug into your cars OBD II (On Board Diagnostics, second generation).

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

Light on dash staying on looks like a engine worning light
lights come on when there is a problem that needs to be checked out at a shop, seeing as you don`t know what the light is for, first check the oil level then coolant level so no engine damage is caused then go to a shop to have it checked out.

Reset check engine light
Once the codes are read and the problem fixed, the codes are then erased with a code reader or scanner. If no codes return, the light will stay off.

The signal lights or emergency lights do light up when turning on!!!
Without knowing the year/make/model, and without an owners manual, I can't really tell you which fuse. Check in your owners manual to see which fuse is for your 4-ways/hazard lights and turn signals. If you don't have the owners manual, check inside the cover of the fuse boxes as many cars will list what fuse is for what feature

I have a 2003 Tiburon Se what kind of oil do i need
Most autos made in the last 10 years or so use 5W-30 motor oil. Check your owners manual. Also, it usually is on the oil filler cap on the engine.

My daughter is driving a 1999 Chevy Malibu which did not come with an owners manual. One of the indicator lights is on, along with the check engine light, and we do not know what it is for. Ultimately...
I may be able to locate the owners manual and send it to you, but you can take the car to Autozone, they will hook it up, and tell you whats causing the light to come on. Why not its free! Let me know!

I need a guide for the fuses cause it doesn't say what fuse if for what for a 1994 Jeep grand cherokee the one on the inside..
You only trouble shoot to enable you identify and differentiate the fuses.

Have you engine running, all lights on, stereo on, then remove and replace fuses to have things go on and off. Don;t worry nothing will go wrong. Trust me.

Rate this please....
