    This is a pic of the dash lights when starting up my car. The check suspension light (on the right hand side) doesn't light up. Is this warning light suppose to light up on start up?

    I haven't checked if the bulb has been removed. Can someone please tell me how to get access to the light bulbs.

    Thank you.

    just checked the manual, the ABS light and the suspension warning light should come on for 3 seconds on start up. Looks like I have a problem :(

    There are 2 screws holding the pod in at the bottom.
    Once removed the pod lifts up for access to bulbs, seems like a good place to start.

    how do I tell if a dash bulb is bad? where do I get replacement bulbs from? are they a special hard-to-find item or a standard autoshop item?

    What you can do in the interim while you have it apart to test the bulb is to use a bulb that you know is working (from one of the bulbs that are currently lighting up) in the spot where the suspension light is supposed to light. Or use the one that is not lighting up in one of the spots that currently is lighting up.

    i pulled some globs out and swapped them around and now the suspension light and airbag light stay on! Can messing around with the lights bulbs cause this?

    Oops ... Sounds like me, so where did this bulb go ???
    .... And how did I get an extra bulb out of this ( or am I short one )
    At this point a "strange" part drops to the floor, and I start wondering where the hell that came from lol

    Sounds like a good opportunity to upgrade the bulbs to LED bulbs, while you're in there...
