Answer
Chris: I think that light you are talking about is that your car is low on water, check the water, check the thermostat(here is a coolant sensor under the thermostat) or maybe your water pump is getting weak. As for the taillight fuse, I would say you have a short in the wiring. Or you could have a weak relay too. When you open the hood of the car, there should be three black boxes, one on the driver's side of the car up on the firewall. And two over by the battery, in them are relays and larger fuses. But on the top of each box explains what is in the boxes. I believe if I remember right there is a relay for those taillights. So if that was to be getting weak that might be your problem. If you do replace a relay with a new relay, remember to unhook the neg cable off the battery before you do this and then rehook when done. It will save you buying another relay, and starting over again. The other thing you could check would be the switch for turning on the lights, the part of that switch that controls those taillights might be bad. So you would have to replace the whole switch. I hope this helps and good luck! Linda
