Dashboard Gauge Lights/Sensors

Some of my Light sensor things in my gauge panel dont light up.The ones that do light up are the brake,airbag,and security.I noticed there are a few more such as Shift,Low Oil Level but I cant figure out what the other ones are.
Anyone know?

There should be an indicator for the following items.
1. brake
2. security
3. service engine soon
4. shift
5. inflatable restraint
6. seatbelt
Have you checked the bulbs?

Well I didn't mention the turn signal or high beam indicators. There may or not be more indicators on your dash. The information I posted comes from a 1992 firebird service manual since I have not received my 1991 service manual yet.

I am not disputing what you have on there. One thing that you should also think about is that some of those items on there are on the whole spectrum of the firebirds and are not neccessarily used in your car. Just like there are several indicators on the idiot panel in my 89 Iroc that do not apply to my car but they are there since that panel was used on all camaros for several years. There is even a indicator for the choke heater and my car has a TPI engine.
