this could mean many things but some easy ones are bad fuses, junk starter, possibly a short in the wiring somewhere, or even a ground that is not connected

87 Chevy Suburban have lights and horn but no ignition gauges interior lights or radio Any ideas?
If a 1987 Chevy Suburban has lights and horn, but no ignition, gauges, radio, or interior lights it could be a ground wire problem. It is possible that there is a short somewhere. Also check the dome light for a possible water leak in the headliner.
When you turn the lights on in your 2001 Beetle the lights for your temperature gauges don't come on. Is there a fuse for these Where do you find it?
If the other lights are turning on, you probably have a burned out bulb or a bad connection.
What does check gauges light mean on a 1996 Pontiac Firebird?
Seems kinda crazy but GM started adding that warning light to its cars and trucks in the early 90's. This light comes on when you first start the car (along with many of the other warning lights) so that you can verify that the light bulbs in all those warning lights are working and not burned out. BUT, if the CHECK GAUGES warning light comes on while driving, it means one or more of the engine monitoring gauges is reading out of a normal range. Example: The temperature gauge needle usually reads at or about halfway up the gauge when the car is at proper orperating temperature. Should the engine begin to overheat and the gauge reads into the upper portion of the gauge (the red area) then the CHECK GAUGES light will illuminate along with a high pitched buzzing sound. For many years most American cars had all warning lamps and no gauges save for the fuel level and speedo. Some cars had an option from the factory of gauges to monitor engine temperature and alternator output/battery voltage and oil pressure, but few were ever equipped with these gauges.... Then in the mid 80's or so many cars came standard with AT LEAST an engine temperature gauge....But drivers still failed to keep a watch on the gauges and GM elected to add the CHECK GAUGES light.....Kinda like warning lights DELUIXE!!!!! Now you have gauges, warning lights, and audible waring to let you know, you are not going to go too much further in this vehicle without making some sort of repairs... You can get a check engine light reader from Kragen -- they will usually let you borrow it at the store if you are just going out into the parking lot -- it will tell you what went wrong so you can then repair it
