Sounds like a low coolant light.

Turn signal fluids low

Check your flux capacitor while your at it.

Yea, its a low coolant light. Mine did that, but the fluid wasn't low. I think the sensor is broken. I just unpluged it and it when away. The sensor is located under the pipe close to the radiator cap. Its a box shape. Don't pull the whole thing out, just the connector.

Ya I hate it when my blinker fluid runs low(hard to find), autozone doesn't carry it. Whats pisses me off worst is when I need to grease my muffler bearings, I can never find the grease fitting

Maybe we don't have enough stickers for it to work properly?

Guys all you have to do is go to NOTORQUE.com. They sell bottles of vtec cheap. Just add to your engine, trans, diff, blinkers......whatever you're having trouble with. You can even pour it on your muffler bearings for years of trouble free operation.
