I have a arrow light on the instrument panel down where all the other lights are like the battery light an oil light ect. Anyway sometimes that arrow light flashes and wondering what it means an what need do to fix it . 1995 volvo 850

You said same socket, so it couldn't be a bad ground or then neither light would work. And you also said there is no power on the tail light wire at the socket? There should be voltage on the wire with park lights on. Find the rear tail harness. Somewhere there at the rear of the car the park light wire (the tail lights, running lights, all the same) will splice off to both sides of the car. You have passenger side lights, so you know the signal is good that far. Somewhere between the splice and the driver's side, the power is lost, maybe right at the splice. So find the harness, it will be either under the car along the frame, or inside the trunk. That's an old effin car, Howard. Are you sure you want to nurse it back to life? lol. Buy a Haynes manual for it - it will save you money in repairs. Good wiring diagrams, too.
Are those gauges in the instrument panel, and not aftermarket? If they are in the dash, I may know what it might be. I have an '87 Sentra. Fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and warning lights, and turn signals would only work intermittently. Car would start and run, but those things- sometimes not, or they would come on way after down the road. I traced it down to a faulty ignition relay in a relay block above the instrument fuse panel. The run wire out of the ignition switch trips this relay on, and it sends power to a portion of the fuse panel that has the fuses for the gauges and turn signal lights. Replacing the relay was the answer-they always work now. Your gauges may be similar, but almost as likely a loose connection somewhere.

help me

either oil pressure switch is defective, not connected or there was not enought oil put back into the motor.

On a saturn with a manual transmission the down arrow means to downshift to a lower gear and the
arrow pointing up means to upshift to the next gear.

it means that you need to add radiator fluid that is your coolant level light

There are 4 key ignition settings: Off, Acc, On, Start Turn key to the On position, quickly press the gas pedal 3 times, then turn key clockwise to Start position and actually start the car. You'll hear it chime at you and the change oil indicator light will flash and disappear.

The tire light....Have you checked all your tires for prper air pressure? including the spare? If they all have the maunfactures recomended PSI. Remove the negitive post from the battery for 20 min. to rest puter. If that dont work you have a faulty TPMS on a tire need a new one. Hope this helps

oil filters are always on the engine block, unless you have a ramp, sometimes it can be a night mare to see them, even to change

it could be the controller of the lights and not the alternator. but in the first place why did your car got low battery?.. maybe the battery is just old.

anyway, try this solution if it would work. you said you already replaced the battery, now remove the positive cable of the battery, tun on the ignition switch, turn on your headlights, and your ac,

now put the positive cable back to the battery, ( blower would run, lights would come on ) then turn off the ignition switch.

tighten the positive terminal and start the car, let me know what happen?


tnx 4 using fixya,

the lights sometimes only use one bulb with different tubes for the light to travel down if that bulb is out u end up with ur problem, or u may have just blown a fuse.

A battery symbol with a + in it mean the ALT is not working properly, Lines accross could be anything??? Could be the belt has come loose and your ALT is not charging, and also the fan to radiator is not spinning (same belt drives both). Need more info.
