 Subject: check gauges light
IP: Logged
Message:
For some reason my 'check gauges' light on my instrument panel displays and chimes on random occasions. Seems to be more often than not when I'm turning hard. Does this make sense to anyone? Anyone have a similar problem? All the gauges are working just fine, I have no idea what's going on.

Could be something is low on fluid - kind of like my gas warning chime goes off if I'm going uphill and the gas flows to the back. Going around a corner would throw fluids to one side and maybe setting off a warning. Just a thought.

Clock spring?
My 02 would occasionally chime with the ABS light when my clock spring went bad (twice...).
Try honking the horn when it chimes, if the horn doesn't work either, then the clock spring is on it's way out.

I think Jerry might be on to something. The light only flashes when I go around a sharp corner. As soon as I come out of it the light goes off. Interesting.....maybe I should check all my fluids.

Sounds like a momentary oil pressure loss.... next time look at your oil pressure .. see if the needle moves ......

I had the same problem as Lurkin stated above. ABS light would come on and chime, but then all of a sudden go off. It would only do this on sharp turns. It was the clock spring. This is my second one within 44,000 miles. The first time it went bad my horn wouldn't work at times.

Both of these sound like feasible options, except: A. my truck doesn't have ABS, and B. I have no oil leak and pressure gauge stays fine when the light comes on. Anything else it could be?

You might see if this somehow causes more voltage draw. I sometimes see that light come on when using the electric plow control a lot - the voltage will become marginal; and I'll get that check gauges light. Something could be just slightly out of spec and hard to see...
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

98 Dakota 3.9 automatic. recently ran into similar problem. Oil
pressure drops to 0, check gauges light comes on, sometimes
it stays on for a few minutes sometimes just flickers back from
normal to 0. Also when I come to a complete stop it has
developed a tendency to stall, will start back fine and drive
normally but I found this strange. Any ideas???

The oil pressure problem, Hook up a mechanical pressure gauge to it and see what is actually going on before you spin a bearing. as far as stalling, could be a few things. Have you tuned it up lately? Have you tried cleaning the IAC?

My check gauges light has come on 3 times now. The first and second time it said that my battery was low... these two were on the same day and if I turned it off and on it would come back on OK... ??
This time, today, I looked at my gauges and the temp gauge was going up to hot... I opened the hood and it was not hot... no steam. I checked the oil and while it was not to the full mark it was in the safe area.
My Dakota is a 2002 Sport with the V6 and auto.
Any input would be very much appreciated.
