I give up- What's that light?

There are 2 warning lights on the bottom of my fuel gauge. The one on the left lights up "brakes" when I turn the key, but the one of the right... What is that?

Thanks in advance.

You have two minutes to exit. Should you decide to do so, this truck will destruct in 30 seconds!

Sadly, guys... that's the "Give the truck to Shuttermutt" light. If you ever see it so much as flicker, you're required by law to sign the title to me immediately. I'm really sorry about that, but the law is the law. I'll just wait here patiently for the mailman to deliver the good news.

That would be the dummy light for not charging in the base model guage set up. There is no bulb in it for the optional inst panels.

I think I rather "destruct in 30 seconds" than "Give the truck to Shuttermutt". But since I don't recall ordering either of those options I won't let it worry me.

Check your option decal... I'm pretty sure it's there!

DOH!
You are right!
Some of the bigger trucks will have Tandom-Lock on the window where the brake light is on our truck...just for trivial info.
