If your directionals are functioning, then it is most likely a loose wire or a fuse. However if they are not working then you've got more issues. Please give more information.

The light tells you the alternator is not working. If it does NOT light, that suggest the alternator is working. This sounds like a discharge problem, not a charging problem. If so, it is not a DIY for you.

check the condition and tension of the drive belt have the alternator test for correct out put as there may be a faulty diode and it is charging ac current so the battery is doing all the work and will eventually go flat.

remove the oil and use the conventional one.

The wire to the temp sensor on the engine block has disconnected somehow or the temp sensor has gone bas which is pretty rare but not impossible. A sensor is usually a brass looking plug that is screwed into block and will have a single wire coming from it to the gauge.

Most vehicles have a container (even though only the cap and upper neck may be visible) located under the hood on the passenger side of the engine compartment just behind the front bumper. The cap probably has an image on it of a windshield wiper with spray rising in an arc from bottom to top. It should be a snap-on/snap-off cap with a retainer that encircles the throat of the fill tube, and when you remove the cap, there may be a plastic strainer in the throat.

Could be a problem with the alternator, or the hydraulic brake system.I would check the brake fluid in the master cyl, and then have the alternator output checked.

is it the battery light that is on if so can be alternator fualty,fanbelt that came off.If it is the brake light your disc pads can be worn down to where it needs to be replaced.or brake fuid is needed in brakefluid reservoir,top-up and if it drops again you have a leak.

This means that your shift solenoid is on its way out. The implications of this will be that you will not be able to shift the car into gear. It normally happens when you have the vehicle in park and press your foot in on the brake to shift into reverse or drive and nothing will happen. It will stay in park. You need to have the solenoid replaced ASAP to avoid not being able to drive as you will be stuck in whatever gear you happen to be in when it fails. Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!
