Check Gauges Light
#3
one of your gauges is probably maxxed out or not registering at all when you get that one.
i got the check gauges light one time and when i did my voltage was maxxed out. i jammed on the brakes and cut it off and went straight to the battery and started checking wires. it turned out to be the negative cable on the battery was loose and arcing to the post. I scraped it clean with a pocket knife, then cut a penny in half and shoved it between the crappy band style cable ends and the post so it would hold on tight and was on my way.

Used to see that to often when the van liked to overheat
I need a pocket knife that will do that!!!! ...j/k. I like the penny idea though.

cleaned the post/clamp with the pocket knife, cut the penny with wire cutters. a penny was an expendable piece of metal that i had available, i don't keep a bunch of random stuff in my truck so it was about my only option. the oe band style battery clamps suck, i have the lead ones on mine now.
