Good afternoon op pls my Honda Civic 06 instrument tray is showing this red spot light, that has refused to go back to normal for 2 days now like it used to do once in a while. Pls I need advice on what to do to get this issue fix permanently I'll attack the picture to this post cos where it comes on like this the fuel and temp gauge does not display and I'm really not comfortable with this . Thanks.

@AutoMoTech
Can you show the position of the red light relative to other lights on the cluster?
Also is it supposed to serve as a indicator light for any system?
Does it stay on when the ignition is on?

Good day all.
To keep this thread alive I think I will start posting pictures and stories of vehicles we have diagnosed and fixed.
This should help anybody reading through the thread to also lean.

A coil among the 3 coils is shocking and other do not.

Pls, kindly help.
Thanks
Checking your complain again.
What tests were performed to narrow down on the ECU as the problem?
Was a scan performed? if yes what were the error codes stored? If no kindly do that first before proceeding with replacing that ECU.

Am still on it yet to be changed.
The part is not common.

I av been advised to convert the engine and wire to Mitsubishi Montero engine.

What is your take pls...
Pls do not. Your car will not remain the same again. After the expenses of buying engine, ECU, harness etc it will be you and your wahala.
Have you contacted someone in Lagos to help you check Ladipo?
Also there are some people very good in ECU repair. Kindly consider that too

Good day, I use a 2003 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE. Recently, the driver side firewall started vibrating when vehicle is on Drive, no vibration on N or P. I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup. The last scanning didn't show any error codes.
Thanks in anticipation
Hello.
I don't get how the CEL will be on but no codes. The CEL will only come on if there was a code stored. Pls get another capable higher end scanner and scan the ECU again. If there are still no codes then we'll have to work blind here.
So here goes. Concerning the vibration, has your mechanic checked the engine seats to be sure they are good?
Secondly, vibrations could also be caused by a misfire in one or more cylinders of your engine. Check your spark plugs and also ignition coils. Its possible you have an intermittently failing ignition coil or plug.
Clean your fuel injectors. A clogged injector will not allow clean flow and spray of fuel into the engine. This can also cause misfires.
Finally, clean your throttle body (aka injector mouth). This will allow better air flow into the engine.

Boss please what’s CAN
Controller Area Network.
Basically a network of communication between modules on the car.
The CAN bus is like a junction connection where all the modules are connected together at a point so they can all communicate with each other.
If there is a problem with the CAN bus (Usually water ingress or wiring problem) the modules will not be able to communicate with each other and then you will have various issues like you are having now.

Sometime there’s a single click sound at times no click sound
Scan he car. Problems with the CAN bus usually can cause a no-star problem as yours.
Start with a scan. Scan all the modules on the car.
I suspect you will have "CAN no communication" fault stored.

M272. White smoke
Is your coolant level dropping? If yes then its coolant leak.
If otherwise, you might have an injector stuck open.
White smoke is either coolant or fuel related issue.

My w203 mercedes benz is smoking. But it doesn't start immediately but after sometime, the car will start smoking. Also when I accelerate, thick smoke comes out of my exhaust. Please I need advice
Which engine? M111, M271, M272 or M112?
Also color of smoke will really help.
Is it black, blue or white?

Very correct. I'll pick this as it is most likely genuine. Unlike the Mercedes being sold.

I’ll be doing this to my MY09 GL450 soon but I’ll be replacing the transfer case chain and oil hopefully this weekend.

Fir the transmission you need oil that meets MB 236.12

I believe that Fanfaro ATF VI meets this spec.

Shell ATF 134 meets the spec and available on Amazon.

Mercedes also have their own oil that’s available on Jiji

The Mercedes oil has been adulterated so much. Most of the oils being sold are fakes. Except if he can get from a trusted supplier.
Personally if there is a genuine LiquiMoly then i will suggest he goes for that. Higher chance its original.

why do people always think the sports is more expensive than the LE? It's not bro,it has no added superior specs than the LE,just padded bumbers NOTHING ELSE. cheesy the LE interior looks a bit better self with the wooden Chrome on the dash and door panels.

Was busy all tru today, but sunned the brainbox, scared to completely remove the fuse box cos of the connections under so as not to mix it up, but used towel to dry out d water. I’ll assemble it tomorrow and hope it turns on
It can be tiring but you can never mix it up. Every connector can only fit in one socket.
If you still can, try remove it so you can dry it properly.
