Dashboard light Could anyone suggest the solution to the frequent on and off of my little Echo's dashboard light. The light comes on certain times when I get into a port hole causing a shakeup, afterward it goes off again. Thanks

Not related , check for leaks on engine = water , could be leaking from pump flange

Check the tail lights if they are noe working check the fuse marked 'tail" in the fuse panel at the left lower dash replace this fuse, it also powers the dash lights.

My car did that too. I had to change my altenator and it quit doing it

It sounds like when the dashboard was replaced that one or more of your lighting harnesses weren't completely plugged in.

Since your check engine light came on, you now have an error code to help pin it down. I would suggest you take it to an autoparts store and have them read the error codes in your computer. WRITE THEM DOWN IN THE ORDER THEY COME OFF, so you have them. That should give you a starting point for further troubleshooting.

i used to get the blue light but now it is not coming ON at all even at -12C. Any idea what could be the issue?

The sensor is normally on top of the dashboard in front of the driver. Make sure you have nothing on top of the dashboard, nor are using a dashboard cover. The sensor is small, but should look like a little clear lens mounted into the dashboard.

The switch that you are talking about... the dimmer switch, must not be working. If you have warranty left, i suggest you take it in. If not, maybe find a good auto wrecker, and replace the switch yourself. I'm guessing they'll be expensive.

oil pressure light get the oil pump checked

There is a dimmer for the dashboard lights on the dash. Make sure it is up. If all the other warning lights come on on the dash as well, then your ignition switch needs replaced.

Look to see if you have a loose tailgate door.
