    Question gauge cluster lights

    I did the search but i did not find..

    My question is: when you look at the gauges, theres 12 squares wich hold the lights for
    - engine check light
    - battery check light
    - oil check
    - high beam
    - hazard lights
    - parking brake
    - fuel
    - and the left and right indicator lights

    Now I have 3 left black.. What goes in those 3 black ones?
    (most of the USDM 3geez have cruise control in there, so I only need to know 2.)

    Re: gauge cluster lights

    the other 3 could be:

    - cat light
    - door lock
    - seat belt
    - cruise control
    - pgm-fi

    the engine light is the PGM-fi light. one is the seatbelt light for sure....no clue on the other one, i think i may have an empty one too.

    kind of like the annoying beeping sounds the new cars make nowadays when you don't shut your door or don't buckle up
    it's cool though that honda was thinking of carjacking back then

    but you have no engine check light? strange
    does the cat light work? perhaps best if you've never seen it work

    Re: gauge cluster lights

    ya my cat light works, i think its connected parallel to the abtt light though cause when my alt was fuked both lights were on, i replaced alt and both lights went off, and whenever those lights randomly blink, they both blink at the same time.

    i have no engine check light, thats what hours under the hood are for.

    and i thought the door lock was cause of if u have little kids in the car that just like to open the door while driving or something, the light comes on whenever any door is unlocked

    i never seen that symbol in the top left spot and whats all the way in the top right spot , i could imagine that the 2 that are left over on mine is one possably for the fog lights and the other for possably ALB? didnt the digital dashes have a few other lights that we dont?

    the new RAV4 it will beep if the passenger or driver arent bulked in even if going 5mph, it will start to beep if you are driving and unbuckle
    but for sure on light is the seatbelt light, then probably the cruise control, one is the fog light light because lostforawhile filled one of those empty spots for a foglight light.

    Re: gauge cluster lights

    okay so:
    cruise control
    seatbelt light
    cat light
    ALB
    door lock

    anyone have a picture of the seatbelt light, or does it just say "seatbelt" or "hey! put your seatbelt on!"
