sup guys, i swapped the speedo gauge from a jza70 cluster into my cluster and its been working fine for a long time...noww all of a sudden there is a light that came on the speedo gauge and i have no idea what its for :cry: first off, theres 3 lights on that gauge from left to right its an "!" with a circle around it, in the middle theres a seatbelt light i think, and the one to the right is the one that came on, it sorta looks like a cat-converter with 4 squggly lines above it ??? wtf is that, its driving me crazy but the car acts the same no problems, no overheating no drop in oil pressure or anything...all of the lights light up when the ignition is on except for the seatbelt one and go away...but all of a sudden when i was driving the Cat-converter looking light lit up on me out of no where.... so yea i need help to figuire out wtf that light/symbol is for

Its the catalytic converter high temperature warning light. I just cut my sensor off when my stock cat was removed and put in a body plug where it came out of the frame rail under the car.

My cluster light still flickers on and off occasionally as well. Might want to just pull the bulb out since im guessing your motor is swapped and you do not have the sensor hooked up at all.

thats strange cause i never had a cat on my car...just a resonator...so that light is never gonna come off unless i take the sensor off right?

yeah... it's the handbrake light, but if you're getting low on fluid, you should notice it flashing on launches while there's still enough fluid to be doing the job....
