"Brake system light. The first thing to do if you see this symbol glowing on the dashboard is check the handbrake hasn't been left on. ... That could relate to the worn condition of the brake pads or discs, a lack of fluid in the system or a problem with the anti-lock brakes (ABS) or stability control (ESP)."

Make, model and year of automobile.

Color of dashboard symbol or icon, and is it flashing?

The warning light means the alternator is not charging the battery.

if its not in the wiring/connection behind the dash cluster, the control module may be haywire..

DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON

Yes it may be the wires are shorting or its actually the problem with instrument cluster.

Also get the vehicle scanned for any error codes stored in computer this will confirm whether is short circuit issue or actual problem:------

These will help.

Thanks.

a new battery will keep the volts up for a while. the light warns that there is a problem, usually its the alternator, one way to check is to loosen the positive battery cable, a little, start the car and disconnect the positive cable if the car dies the alternator is bad if it still runs its probably ok

A quick guess is that one of the power sliding doors is not closing properly or the switch for that door is broken. A broken door switch would leave the door motor or interior lights on continuously and drain the battery. Draining the battery more than a few times would ruin it. Also check the front door switches for broken or missing actuators - the door ajar icon looks similar to the sliding door open icon.

I tried to download an owner's manual so I could be sure I was interpreting your dashboard icon correctly, but the oldest one available is for 1999, so my information may not be accurate.

Semi-solved. It looks to be some sort of headlight warning. Fog lights?
I'm still investigating.
