Cool how did you get white needles??...anyway ine has the airbag light on too..you need to take it in to see if somethings malfunctioning with the airbag..I think you need some kind of code..As for the orange light,that means one of your taillightsare out checkall lights including break lights.

Try putting some gas in that baby, you don't want the deposits in your tank going through the fuel system.

That's a temperature gauge not fuel level.

here is the airbag fix



now if you clear the code and the light comes back on, you have a problem somewhere else


search should be mandatory for first 100 posts or so
actually i just snag that picture of ebay.. so i didnt have to take a pic of my cluster... but... my car is 95 with a 92 rear taillights... u think thats the reason why the light stays on??? i didnt think it should matter.. im gonna try airbag now thanks again..

I would venture a guess and say probably. If it's bugging you that badly then just pull the gauge cluster and remove the bulb.

This is what happens when you start drinking very early.

Just don't expect the airbag to deploy in the event of an accident. Or get some 92 tails and swap them in...you'll find many people willing to swap with you.
