The orange cage indash light
 

I have a 1987 supra and when i turn a orange light comes on on the far left side. it has a picture of a cage or what looks to be a cage. I dont know what it means. I dont have the book it came with so i cant look at that. Could anyone tell me what that is? and what it means?

Here you are,

it means your reserve water bottle is low on fluid the bottle is upfront near the left side headlight

why the water bottle is low could be a whole other issue

I said it
 

Quite a while back I said we need a sticky about that damn "birdcage" light. Every newbie to this board asks that question.

okay the light only truens on when i turn when i turn left and thats it other then that it stays off... sometimes when i turn left but only hard. what could that mean?

does that need water ? i didnt know that could that be it even though it has water in it?

it means your coolant is low. when you turn it uncovers the sensor and it turn on. whenyour going straight theres enough coolant to cover the sensor. just add some coolant to the overflow bucket by the left headlight

haha same thing happened to me when i first got my '87.. i was soo confused for like 3 weeks. i kicked myself when i found out it was that easy. haha

ha ha thanks it worked now i have to see if its leaking... cause there should not be any reason for the water to be gone right? i dont know anything about this car. I came from a 67 mustang. There is so much more on this car like a computer and such its a change... change of topic really quick does anyone know if you can put 90 tail lights on the 87 supra without changing the center thing? cause my friend says it can be done without the center thing. just learning and you all seem like you know what your talking about. I wish i knew more...
