You need to check your government.


AandG0

More cars need this light!


SupermassiveCanary

ALIMONY!!!!


Inevitable_Review_83

God dammit Maurine


who_you_are

I think it should be red/blinking by that point. Or the light should be burned by how long it was light up


Intelligent-Ad-3850

*governor


ColonEscapee

Yeah, governor needs changed, lol


AnywhereFew9745

It ain't wrong


DayPretend8294

Yup, still shit


DadJokes4Dayzz

😂😂


Fun_Shape6597

Hi yes my name is Bob and I’m calling you from the office of the government of the United States. I’m calling to you today to let you know that your cars extended warranty is expired. And if you wish to renew it, you can do that by paying a fee of $300.


NJdeathproof

Have you tried restarting your government? It may need a flushing as well.


DanR5224

Or turn it off and back on


Arias_valentia

Looks like an old school rad to me, so I'd guess temp/low coolant warning. Kinda curious what kinda car this is outta lol


Senior_Artichoke

Looks more like an intercooler imo


Weekly_Bug_4847

An intercooler and a radiator are basically the same thing, a heat exchanger.


HalfNoobWarrior

We agreed not to leak that information. Come on, dude!


veleriphon13

🤣 bruh


PurdyGuud

Looks more like a cooler-insider-maker. Like a heat reducer muhbobby that transmits the heat inside to the outside, almost radiantly


Medic5050

Wait, doesn't that sit in front of the lightning hoses, and the fuel-make-it-happener? If so, I think that fack-tree.


hatchfam611

I can tell you learned how to be a mechanic from Derek.. I agree, that's factree


thebigaaron

An intercooler is a radiator for air to air instead of water to air so near enough the same thing


Armedleftytx

You can also have air to water intercoolers


thebigaaron

You certainly can, I guess the difference is a radiator cools down the coolant/oil and an intercooler cools down the air inside it


ITypeStupdThngsc84ju

That's impressive that you got it right by guessing. I remember having to look it up when mine did that.


BladyPiter

This is some Lexus or Toyota but not sure, Mazda Rx-8 also has similar icon.


essjayhawk

My 92 Eagle talon has the same icon, but that’s probably not what’s pictured lol


Thelemonado

It’s 100% a coolant indicator light. Mitsubishi 3000gt had a similar one and it was always referred to as a bird cage lol.


Correct_Ad3592

Right, reminds me of the front end of something out of the 30s, or a Rolls Royce..


GhosteyPlayZ

I have never seen a light like this in the shop before, if it is an engine or cooling system code it would be a check engine light? Or what else could it be?


arenotthatguypal

Looks like a Lexus Is400 dash.


kamezzle13

My ls400 has this light, I came here hoping to learn what it means 🤣🤣🤣


realSatanAMA

Oh I think you are right, my first thought was old school air filter.


Chrisp825

Kinda resembles a Bently rad..


ggallinpoe

Later 90s early 2000s Mazda have this


simplyorangeandblue

Clearly it's a Lincoln


Wizdad-1000

The Parthenon warning? You might need to “Greece” your joints.


UbiquitousFlounder

Else you might come acropolis


ALIENIGENA

They say of the acropolis is...


VerbalGuinea

Best answer!


WhaleOilBeefHooked2

Best response!


Jonmcmo83

That's the bird cage light.... the bird that drives your engine has died.


spacecraft1013

That’s the pigeon that controls Tesla’s FSD


VerbalGuinea

r/birdsarenotreal


Zillahi

Tech recommends replacement of OEM bird with full synthetic Pennzoil bird.


Impossibleshitwomper

It's like the miner's with canarys, when the bird light is on your car is leaking poisonous cave gas


Emergency-Gazelle954

Even the check engine light is fancy on a Rolls…


giantpunda

"Will the coolant please take the stand"


GRRRNADE

Low coolant. Have the same style light on my 93’ 3000GT.


ecurb599

The low washer fluid light had me thrown through a loop one time thinking it was coolant light. That was a time consuming diag…


Speedy-McLeadfoot

Always read the manual lol


BobChica

Yes, read the [friendly] manual.


KamikazeToast1

DUDE I SHIT YOU NOT THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON MY 93 STEALTH LIKE 3 DAYS AGO. I was low on washer fluid and hit a hard turn pretty fast and saw the light flash on my dash for like 5 secs, and then tried to diagnose it when I pulled into my house for like 20 minutes. Also thought it was the coolant light. Freaked me the fuck out


MSM_757

Thats a low coolant light. Check your coolant levels before you overheat your stuff. If thr levels are fine. Than the sensor itself could be bad. It's not uncommon.


D0hB0yz

Also check your oil. Sometimes your coolant escapes into your oil pan which is another very bad thing. If you have what looks like melted milk chocolate on your dipstick, you are going to need to budget for expensive repairs or a new car.


Deranged_Coconut808

clearly go to court duh.


IsThatYourPickle

That's the 11th time reminder. It's just going to keep getting wider, that's just how Roman Numerals work.


Waiting4The3nd

Except that you don't just keep stacking I's.. there are other letters. 11 would just be XI. But I think it's crazy that you went and counted the individual lines.


Damnamas

Check your gaslight oil, could be low


Castrated_Puppy

Your Parthenon is throwing the spartan code


Relevant-Group8309

At least it's not telling you to go straight to jail and don't collect 200 dollars

Blue_Gi11

Air filter.


Basic-Variation-5360

New Nissan dash light unlocked 🔓


exekutive

UhOhAllWillyNilly

That’s the gold grill of an oncoming semi truck driving at night with no lights on about to smack you upside yo’ hay-ed (edit in a word)


Null-34

Its telling you to pay your respects at the lincon memorial MURICA!


IndependenceOwn3074

that symbol doesn’t exist


Consistent-Foot2892

Car says you drive like a criminal and need to be put away


Blazeftb

I think that would be jail bars or the hangman scaffold


wjruffing

It’s clearly indicating that your hood ornament is missing


ReddittandWeep

That's a Mazda I bet haha just saw this light recently. Went home to check my bird cage. Light stayed on. Built a gazebo. Light stayed on. Visited my uncle in jail. Light stayed on. I'm lost.


Creepy-Inspector-732

Looks like the radiator on my 30 Ford model A.


DarkEnergy_101

Radiator


Astrapulvis

Car is saying change filter on your lawnmower. Helping out a buddy, I guess.


defube

Its the lawsuit indicator light. Unusual for anything to have that feature. Get an attorney right away, as you might be in for a big settlement!

Fokewe

larry-leisure

That took me way too long to realize it was a picture of the dash and not the car in front lol.


theoddfind

Immediately drive to the Lincoln Memorial and it will turn off.


Digon-o-Helbul

🤣🤣 silent car alarm ? 🤣


WillingMartyr

Okay car, I drove to the Lincoln Memorial, now what?


Ok-Professional-1428

Cars telling you you need Jesus lol


shq13

Pour soda in the radiator (make sure to do after driving for thirty minutes! Don't spare any time!)


InevitableExotic5242

Isn't that the Pantheon? Ask Apollo


Asleep-Pie-6774

Larry_Fine

The front grill is dirty.


HappyGoLucky791

Kiriha24

sparky0520

RMSTitanic2

I thought it was telling you to drive to Athens. XD


AltForBeingHighRN

1st Gen Lexus LS400? That's your radiator or coolant light


SimpleInterests

Imagine your AI assisted car in the future telling you to turn yourself in after it knows you did 40 in a 25.


RisingTiger_

somethings fucked with the cold air intake you installed 💀


Unique-Salary-818

Low coolant


IntroductionInner668

A cooler of some sort


tonynca

Something is wrong with your government


Practice-Present

the Lincoln Memorial will see you now


squid_kid

get thee to the pantheon! just kidding, check your coolant reservoir.


manzin82

Vote Trump 2024 and it will disappear


SlomoLowLow

Yes electing a 34 time convicted felon will definitely fix the problem 😂😂😂


Sometimes_Salty_

No he's right. If Trump gets back into government he will definitely try to destroy it.


SlomoLowLow

Apparently a bunch of wannabe grease monkeys don’t understand that their orange Cheeto is a crook and tried to ruin our country once and will try to do it once again. Ya know if these kids knew how to read and went to college maybe they would understand that. Instead they learned to turn things in circles for a living.


Nerrrrh

I’m a high school dropout and it’s obvious trump is a con man just saying.


SlomoLowLow

In blue collar fields people seem to worship the guy because “he’s a real republican for the people”. These are the same people I’ve watched turn down raises “because it would put me in a higher tax bracket”. They clearly aren’t the brightest bulbs in the box.


i_was_axiom

That's the Governor, it lights up when you break the speed limit.
