sounds like your alternator or voltage regulator is going out most auto zones can test them for free
check battery and alternator
There is no reset for a check gauges light. If the light is on, there is a problem either with the temperature oil pressure or voltage.
One of the gauges is outside the safe range. Check oil pressure, coolant temp, and battery voltage.
Engine overheat, low oil pressure, or alternator voltage.
to look at the gauges something is terribly wrong!!
true.
If the Gauges on your instrument panel have stopped working you may have had a voltage converter stop working. This device mounted to the rear of your instrument panel converts the voltage from your alternator to the voltage that your gauges run off of. You can check the fuses with a multimeter and see if both sides have voltage showing, if so then see about replacing the voltage converter.
It reduces the voltage from 12v to 6v because the gauges run on the lower voltage.
When the check gauges light comes on it is telling you to check the gauges because at least one of the gauges is out of normal range. It could be low oil pressure, engine over heating or low voltage.
