I didnt want to post this in the 'tech' section, as i just need to know what this little red light is for?

Anyone know? theres no mention of it in the handbook.

Cheers.

 

Looks like a 'low petrol' light. Usually comes on below 1/4 tank.

 

aha!!! Cheers Steve, never thought of that!

 

Hahaha. Unreal.

 

I'll have to diagree since, if you look closely, you can see that the (currently not lite) indicator directly above the fuel gauge shows a gas pump. I'd bet that is the "Low petrol" light.

What year make and model vehicle is this, anyway? I'm guessing it's a Liberty by the looks of the dash and the fact they're called Cherokees in other parts of the world.

 

I'm going to say the light is the "Anti-theft system" light.

Does it blink?

I found a diagram of that cluster but I can't seem to find the Numbered chart that goes with it.

 

Hmm, definitely looks like a blinker fluid light.

Just kidding lol.

I do agree with Lowrange that it's not a low gas light because he's right that the light above the gas gauge is the low gas light.

 

Security alarm indicator light I think?? Look at post #14

I have a manual at home that should have that diagram in it. I'll let you know what I find.

 

Yup. I just read that thread.

I agree.

 

Here ya go.. Security alarm indicator

 

Damnit! You win. I searched for that for half an hour.

Here's an excerpt straight from the OEM Manual:

"Security Alarm System Indicator Light - (If Equipped)
This light will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds after all of the doors are locked and closed to signal that the system is arming. After the alarm system successfully arms, the light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set."

 

Thanks Duma, that dash has a lot of idiot lights to decipher.

 

LOL I was lucky..

no prob, took me five mins. I searched 2002 jeep Cherokee limited dashboard symbols.

 

Boo. Not funny anymore.
