Xandaril Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey, The light that goes the the engine check when you turn on the car has been staying red for me. I have tried looking this up everywhere and I cant find out why it might be doing this. If anybody knows what my problem is I would greatly appreciate it. Edit: Forgot to say, it's a 83 280zx. Here is a picture of what I am talking about: Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 push in the check button next to it. A symbol will come on which will point to why it is red. couple things it could be are: low coolant, low window washer fluid, lights. If you can get an owners manual it will tell you what they are. My 83 is not here so I can't send you a picture of that page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandaril Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Wow, I feel really stupid now... This has been annoying me for like the last 2 months and it was something so simple. I figured out that it was pointing to low windshield washer fluid. Turns out that my sensor broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out that it was pointing to low windshield washer fluid. Turns out that my sensor broke Its okay... I just spent a year and I only just yesterday got it to say all OK for the first time. I didn't have washer fluid and It seems like I had to put coolant into an extra reservoir which seemed stupid, but I just wanted to try to get the red light to go away finally.
