    Check light

    My check panel doesn't work and I have the blinking check light on my dash. All my fluids and lights are fine but it still blinks. Any one have any idea what it could be ?

      does your check panel not work at all? you have to be more clear.

      Sometimes the brake light switch fails and causes the check light to stay on.

          That's going to be a hard one to diagnose without the individual LED's in the check panel working.

          You might be able to narrow it a bit if the issue starts only when you turn the lights on (which would be triggering the license plate light or tail light warning). Otherwise it could be any of the other items.

          Make sure the wiring at the oil level, coolant level and washer fluid level sensors is clean and tight.

          If the above doesn't solve your problem, the next step would be to try to swap in a known good check panel. Do you have access to one to swap in?
