My saturn L300 dashboard lights keep flicking on and off. And all of the sensor warning lights come on and off. (airbag light, lock/unlock light/ check engine light/ change oil light) Kind of like there is a short of some sort.  It also triggers the a/c off.  And my day lights also flicker in sync with the dashboard lights.  This also triggered my reverse to not engage.  So now my car wont move. No other problems, the car drives perfect.  Is it a fuse that is triggering these problems?

    Just bought a 04 wagon and my dash lights flicker on and off. If you wiggle the roller switch they will come on. Haven't noticed any of the other problems. Maybe that's next. Is it hard to get fixed?

FROM LustyKid.

You definitely have something loose behind that dashboard or a wire is shorting out of an on.

Time to remove it if you know how and check all connections.
If no know how. Time to see a competent electro mechanic.

But remember shorts are time consuming to find. Did you or anyone installed and alarm or one of those remote engine starting systems? If yes, then is installed wrong.

HI I HAVE A 2002 SATURN L300 AND I HAD AN OIL CHANGE TO STOP THE WRENCH LIGHT FROM COMING ON AND ITS STILL ON WHY IS THAT? I THOUGHT THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ONLY FOR MAINTENCE. THANK YOU

If you reset the monitor when you had the oil changed, and that light is for oil change due, the light should have stayed off.
Usually the wrench warning light is a service vehicle warning, not for oil change is due.
Your owners manual should explain each warning light.
You may have to get the body computer checked out by a shop or the dealer.

B1801 Ford Escape 2002. The air bag light comes on the instrument panel in my vehicle and will stay on for a while then go away. I had someone test it for me and told me it was code B1801. It was at a...

Did you disconnect the battery recently...did you operate the horn.both questions related to what may originally cause the airbag warning light to stay on.if it was the battery being changed reconnected then you have to reset the airbag light.this is quite simple on Fords.
with the engine off ....ignition key into the lock open the drivers door and keep it open ....locate the button at the bottom of door for courtesy light....hold your finger on it...turn the ignition on so that only the lights on dash come on...do not start car....now press the door button 6 times within ten seconds and on the last count of six hold it in whilst turning off the ignition.then close the drivers door and start.the airbag light usually flashes for several seconds then it should clear.on some model fords the button press count is 5 or 7 so you may need to repeat ....on mine I discovered I had to open the passenger door after the procedure before turning ignition back on.a word about the horn.on older model fords the springs that sit in the horn housing also affect the sensor of the airbag in some models .the springs gets rusty or bunged up and operating it will cause the airbag sensor fault.never attempt to remove the cover of the horn assembly as you may fire off the airbag.just remember to reset the warning light... And get a mechanic to look at the horn if it continues to play up.Please remember if the airbag warning light is flashing it may mean the airbag will be disabled and will not deploy in the event of an accident, this also means the seatbelts may not lock on impact either.please vote if helpful thanks.

Meaning of warning lights

Manufacturers spend billions of dollars a year refining their cars' on-board diagnostics systems. However, all of the sophisticated diagnostics in the world will do little good if you don't know what the warning lights mean.
Purpose
Modern automobiles have dozens of sensors to monitor engine, braking and chassis performance. Any deviation from the car's established limits will trigger a dashboard warning light.


Check Engine Light
Check engine lights can indicate failure of the emissions system, fuel injection system, faulty sensor feedback, overheating or lack of voltage, transmission failure, and engine knock ignition system failure.


Brake Lights
Almost all cars have two separate lights for the braking system: a red "ABS" (anti-lock braking system) light and "Brake Warning" light. The former indicates failure of the electronic anti-lock system, the latter a loss of fluid pressure in the brake system itself.


Dynamic Warnings
Many modern cars have traction or stability control systems that prevent and notify the driver of tire slippage. These lights can come in the form of amber "SLIP," "TC," or "TRACTION" lights (for spinning tires), or "ESC" (electronic stability control) lights for a sliding vehicle.


Safety Lights
Most cars have a diagrammatic warning that indicates a door that isn't all the way closed, a seat-belt warning light, and an "airbag disabled/enabled" light. Any or all of these will be red or amber.

98 Saturn SL1, Was in accident: Deployed Airbags & Horn questions

The light should go out after you replace the sensor that should be in the front of the vehicle.You can check the fuse for the horn. However, some of the airbags that don't come from a dealers, don't deploy, but there is no way of knowing that until you are in an accident.
