IN some cars it means that the charging circuit is not working. Check the alternator out put and drive belt for condition and tension

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, pls check the levels of the different fluid used by the vehicle. This can and may (but not necessarily be) include:

  • coolant at the reservoir;
  • coolant at the radiator;
  • brake fluid;
  • engine oil level;
  • transmission fluid.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.

SOURCE: symbol of engine with lightening flash thru it -

Thats your check engine light.
Depending on the problem it could be a "no BiG deal" or a real BIG deal.
go to autozone and they can check to see what the error codes are that may help identify the problem.

Good Luck

SOURCE: can you tell me what the symbol on dash is 'far left' please? vt holden commodore 1999

I am not familiar with your vehicle, Ive never heard of it. However a lightning bolt symbol would probably indicate a problem with your electrical system, possibly the battery or alternator.

There is a lightening symbol in brackets think it is the electrical...car goes real slow but wont exelerate

The brackets enclosed lightning bolt symbol appears to refer to the electronic throttle control. It would be helpful to include brand, model, and year when querying.

Meaning of lightening bolt in a semicircle symbol on dashboard in BMW?

You can go online and find the manual for it at BMW's website. It should be fairly easy to find. Wish I could help more. Good luck.

2003 beetle a orange symbol came up on the dash and has a lighting bolt going into a shape like an engine,wont go away what dose this mean thanks

That light means that there is a trouble code currently on your cars computer or (OBD) On Board Diagnostic system . If you go to Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts, they will scan it for free, and erase it if its something simple. IF its something important, they should be able to give you SOME insight, but I would post back here with the trouble code number for better assistance. Thanks.

Service lights

A lightening bolt means you have a blow fuse. There are 3 main fuse boxes on your 1994 Jaguar.
Left front (where your left foot is behind an inspection panel)
Right front (same)
and in the center console.
Most common fuse is the cigar lighter, make sure you haven't dropped a dime in there as it is next to the ashtray (located right front foot - 20 amp yellow fuse)
