ITS NOT A FUCKING LIGHT FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!!!

i fucking swear, i think this whole internet message board thing has brought out the most lazy stupid mother fuckers out of the woodwork.. try actually leaving your fucking house, going to a fucking auto store and picking up a haynes or chiltons manual.. or try actually reading your owners manual.. why not actually TRY to do research before making a fucking thread whenever the smallest most trivial thing happens to your car....

well i would read the fucking owner's manual if i had one! and honestly what you think could mean less to me. there is only one reason i come onto this site. when something needs to be done with my car. so yeah, if something happens to my car i am gonna post on it, ESPECIALLY since i just did a lot of work to my car and everytime i hear something now its for the first time, and 99% it hasn't been a good thing, and definetly not ignorable. so if my posting bothers you so damn much mistanutjuice, you can kiss my ass

wow!! what a great way to keep people coming back to the boards... instead of helping, we cuss at them and call them fucking stupid for asking a question about the maintenance required INDICATOR!!!

[4GAccordH22]

Well, the fact that something broke and the indicator turned yellow (or red) are pure coincidence. That indicator is set to come on after a certain mileage. You can reset it by pushing in the reset switch with your key (or something similar). The reset switch is on the left hand side of the cluster (the one that is indented so you can't push it by accident). Just push your key in there and it will go back to green until it reaches the preset mileage (it runs off the odometer).

Hope this helps!

yup.. this and many other car related boards are filled with morons that cant even seem to do their own research before making a thread..

i didnt mean to lash out on this guy, but after seeing multiple retarded threads, i just chose this one to say that.. not a direct attack, but it DOES apply to you...

I'm sorry, I drive a 90 so I dont have one of these... whats the difference if someone call it a light or an indicator? I mean it does light up, yes? I mean, if my Brake Light comes on, I call it a light, not a Brake Indicator. Not trying to be a dick, but seriously whats the difference?

it's not a light though, there is no LIGHT part to it...look closely. that's why they are calling it an indicator. and all it means when it turns red or yellow is you should do suggested mileage based maintanence.

LOL! I don't have one, thats why I asked. can't look closely at something I don't have I'll just take your word for it.

i dont think the 90-91s had the indicator actually.. all it is is a dial of sorts that changes from green to yellow to red in i BELIEVE 7500 mile intervals, maybe different.. ive never gone by it for any maintenance whatsoever so to me its pointless..

[fac90]

Its a counter and just reset it. Too bad its not on the 90's, but you should chnage the oil every 3K, 7.5K is too large of a range.

Why not say something more along the lines of "search for 'maintenance required'" or something a little nicer?

You should know by now that flameing people like that is a BIG NO NO
I'm giving you a warning for that one man.
