LED Indicator

I have a quick question, this indicator popped up in my car and I just wanted to know what it was for. It's a little square with a cap on top and an arrow pointing down towards little waves inside. Along with this popping up there is a faint burning smell:disappoin . Let me know what it is.

Thanks alot.

low coolent possibly, if it wasnt 11:30 i would go out to my car and check for sure. ill tell you for sure tomorrow.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that's low coolant. If it smells like maple syrup, then you def have a coolant leak somewhere. Have it checked out before you drive much.

So what would cause something like this and is it exspensive to have it fixed?

this

How many miles do you have on the car?? If you have them racked up then just change it.If some1 before you didnt mix the coolant right then it could have just burnt up if they put to much water in it. Or you have a crack in the radiator and you can do 1 of 2 things. 1) get a new radiator about $100 new, or 2) You can get this stuff at ne auto store for stopping leeks in radiators(dont know the name of it but im pretty sure they will) about $10-$15 but the down side to this method is when or if you go and change the radiator fluid after putting this stuff in will make it a hell of alot harder to drain the fliud seeing as it might clod the drain hole.

depending on exactly what the problem is, its most likely caused by time, common sense tells me with the low coolant light and burning smell, you most likely have a coolant leak, depending on where exactly that leak is will determine how much it will cost to fix, so unfortunately no one will be able to give you a dollar figure

on another note, i was looking at your cardomain page, you should seriously consider giving boeing their wing back,

wow... agreed

There is only 54k miles on my car. Whats wrong with the wing?

do a coolant flush and check your hoses and radiator for leaks, dont use the stop leak product drmambo was talking about, if it fills in the holes in ur radiator who knows what it might clog up in your engine

wow, 54000 on a 97, that is unreal, but regardless, its a 10 year old car, its gonna have its problems, andrew is right about the stop leak products, i'd stay away from the cheap fixes since it looks like you're gonna have this car for a while
and i made the wing comment cuz its uglier then hell, WAY to big

im with them on the wing, oh and are your rims 15" cuz they dont look like 16" to me, there is way too much rubber on those it seems.

Aww..I like my spoiler alot. And yeah it is kinda big but I like it and I think that's what matters most,ya don't have to call it ugly. The rims are 16' *shrugs*. Maybe I just have FAT tires :(

I think your car looks good - if not a little ricey. The spoiler is where I draw the line, too, though. It's a little much. Okay, a lot much.

Sounds like it might be time to concentrate on the actual workings of the vehicle though rather than getting a <cool looking race whatever> spoiler/seats/decals </cool looking race whatever> for it.

That's all

look at the numbers on the side wall of the tire and tell me what they are, mine are 225/45R16 yours will be similar but probly not the same.

Well I have been,I got the tail lights,custom paint job and rims. A bodykit is too exspensive right now so that is on hold.I'm getting halo headlights and changing the ugly ass yellow bumper lights. I'm trying to fix it up to the best of my ability money wise.Some people do have bills,besides I'm not trying to go for a first place prize. I thought maybe you guys would give me some kind of credit, I'm just starting. The main point is that it sticks out from other PLAIN cavaliers. I did not know my car was going to be judged. I know you all will say "were just giving our opinions and trying to help" but gosh...just say Hey,nice car.

lol i think that wing is pretty sick.. i dont think wings look real nice on a four door family looking car back it would look alot better on a coupe imo.

Thanks..atleast someone likes it. Yeah I hate the 4door,but it's what I got..lol.:P

sorry lilsweets, but you cant put something like that on your car without expecting critisizm, would you rather us lie to you? besides, we are INTERNET PEOPLE, if you take opinions that personal you shouldnt be talking to people on the internet
