Default dummy light question

What does this dash light indicate; it's slightly left of center toward the top. It is basically a few lines coming from the back of a car.

Brake lights - OK
Tail lights - OK

Anyone know what the car might be trying to say?

Try having a friend step on your brakes while you inspect the lights. The 1157 bulbs have a tendency to still light up when your lights are on but when you tap your brakes, they don't light up. Also check your turn signals, the old skool 92-94 tail lights have 3 turn signal bulbs per side!

Hey thanks. Everything seemed OK when we checked it but it was sunny so maybe after dark we'll check again.

Mine came on too, then i got pulled over for no licence plate lights. Fixed that and the light on the cluster went away. May be a coincidence but cant hurt to try!
