dash symbols

Post by bsharp »

78 fiat 124--on the speedometer at the bottom are three symbols--one is the bright lights on the right--one in the middle are the turn signals and the one on the left looks like the sun symbol with a little box looking deal on top---anyone know what this is for--also looking for the temp warning light location

If I understand the question right the light in question is your interior/low beam indicator then your turn signal then your high beam at the far right.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

You need an owner's manual. These are all clearly described. There is no temp warn light, there is a temperature gauge with a needle.

I have two temp sensors in the block-one for the gauge and one for the temp warning light

I have a 79 with the two sensors and wires connected to them, but no warning light, only the gage. Aclarification would be appreciated.

One of the wires goes to the sweep needle on the gauge
One of the wires goes pegs the needle when the engine overheats

Try the search feature of the website or read a manual or two. All free, just takes some of your time.
