Hey all i have a 1988 Hilux surf and I have no idea about some of the lights on the dash. I have had filter, timing belt and charge come up aswell as the turbo and the orange light on the other side come up.
I have checked alternator and changed filter etc but these lights dont seem to go away. Am I not looking at the right thing.
We did go for a swim on wednesday but it still runs fine
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hiya......
From memory, (it was a long time ago before the hair went grey
), it's a bit of a mileage thing. There's a wee rubber bung / plug on the intrument panel. Remove this and grap a paper clip, straighten it out and give the wee button behind the bung a push. Used to reset my VX Cruiser lights so might work.......
Good luckin

That button under the bung is to reset the counter that tells you when you are due to replace the timing belt.....dont press it unless you change it.
I had this happen 2 weeks ago, pull the bushes out of the alt.
They could be stuck up.
For me it was a combo of the bushes not touching quite right and the relay just inside the drivers guard being filthy.
I just looked for anything electrical, pulled it down and cleaned it.
Its a good way to learn, just remember to do one piece at a time and make the time to do it in one go.
The worst thing is leaving things apart and not remembering where it goes later on.
