For the last week or so, ive had a light on my dash while driving and I dont know what it means.

Its a little symbol of a car. Normally as the car starts, the orange light symbol of a car blinks, then goes off.

For the last week or so, the light has stayed on. Well the car starts and the light goes off, but when I put the parking break down and go into gear, the light comes back on.

I havent noticed any other problems or strange sounds, but this light is annoying me and I want to know what the problem is.

I drew a little picture of where the light on the dash is located



Thanks for any help

 

Tail light bulb burnt out.

 

Could be a tail-light bulb burnt out, but sometimes it goes a bit nuts, and stays on for no reason...

 

I've always thought that little orange car symbol meant the car is going to EXPLODE in 30 seconds!

When it randomly comes on in my car, I sweat bullets for like 5 seconds and then it goes out again!...phew!!!!!!! LOL (j/k)

Anticipating that the OP's next question might be "how do I change my burnt out tail light?" I've prepared an answer in advance. Details are here.
