by the dashboard lights
alright, '90 dynasty(3.3L V6) with lights on the dashboard that i've never seen. well at least one of them. I can't seem to get the parking brake light to go away- and no the brake is not engaged. The other one is a little wierd, it is the ! symbol in a circle with () around it. Could this be a computer problem. I just recently got the stupid thing to start after a two year park period. i also have this ticking noise that seems to be coming for the rocker arm. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Yes the (!) is the brake light. My bosses Mercades has one of those (!) symbols. Took me a while to figure that one out. I replaced his radio with an aftermarket because I couldn't figure out the sign language on that either. The ticking is usually a lifter that didn't get or isn't getting enough oil. They are hydraulic and need good oil pressure. A lot of oil filters drain back after you shut the car off. A thousand times of starting a car with no oil in the top end of the motor will kill a lifter. Fram and some other filter manufacturers have anti drain down valves or one way valves. These are good.
