My PKE and Coolant low DIC bulbs are not coming on when I turn the key to ON.
Switched out bulbs and still no go, they work in other sockets.
I know the PKE is supposed to come on and would think the coolant low would come on also.

Got the PKE light working, if the PKE system stops working, not only check the PKE fuse but the radio Batt fuse as well.
I have a aftermarket radio, so I never knew the fuse was blown.

There is no bulb check for the low coolant light and if you are working on your 92 it does not have PKE. There is a spot in the DIC for a bulb but apparently the General did not have it ready in time for the 92's.

Sorry, this is my son's 93.
Yes, there is a bulb for low coolant. Thing came on last month when I changed the WP gasket and forgot to fill the coolant back up.
It is on the second row going up and second from the left.

I understand there is a low coolant bulb, what I said is that there is no bulb check when the key is turned to the on position. See your owners manual for clarification.

You will heal fast, it only hurts for only a short time.

Don’t feel bad, this question on the low coolant bulb check has come up other times also. I even answered it once myself. I don’t even think most notice that it does not come on with all the other bulbs flashing.
