Re: I have a check gages light!!!!!!!!!
Is the gas gauge really low or the temp gauge really high?

Re: I have a check gages light!!!!!!!!!
Instead of a check fuel light... they use a check guage light... put some fuel in there..

Also, he is saying it is overheating also. He needs to check out his cooling system. |

Re: I have a check gages light!!!!!!!!!
Have you even checked to see if the coolant was at the top of the rad and at the right level in the coolant bottle?

Re: I have a check gages light!!!!!!!!!
ha ha ha... this kid is crackin me up... stand in front of your car... open hood..look at left side of engine bay... notice an offwhite transparent container chillen out... its the only container over there so i hope you do... look at the markings on the container.... make sure its at the right mark...
a check guages light shouldn't be a reason for low coolant.. there is a light for add fluids.... i've gotten both of them before while on a steep hill...

Re: I have a check gages light!!!!!!!!!
Well next step would be to have your coolant system flushed out and check out the pump for proper workin condition... u can do it yourself or take it to a shop, but with your knowledge take it to a dealership <--*Twitch* or an independent shop. Are you using the dex-cool or was it ever switched around to green shit?...
This just dawned on me... instead of waiting around trying to wait for us to diagnose your problem and help you out when your not going to even do the work yourself.. take it to a professional and let them fix it in one day. Just had to get that off my sholders.
