Hi, Just observed a warning light on my car's dashboard. The warning light is a car symbol with headlights on.

What does this warning light mean?

Thanks

Owner's manual?

it's the brake light warning. check your brake lights including the 3rd light. one of them is burned out. change it and the light should turn off.

It doesnt have to be burned out for the light to come on. It could have low resistance (about to burn out or corrosion on contacts) and it's tripping the light.

^ yes that could be the cause as well. My old 93 XLE had the same problem.

Thanks xtremeskier97

Thankx to all.

Just some addition. This light comes on sometimes and oges off sometimes.

I lost my owners manual.

can be loose connection. Just open the light up and fix or replace the bulb

If the symbol is the headlights than the problem is with one of the front lights. If the sysmbol is of the car's tail lights, then the problem is with one of the rear lights or brake lights, as mentioned above.

Couldnt this also be low brake fluid level?
