Hey all. I have a 1986 mustang 5.0. Its my first muscle car and im enjoying the community so far. I have a question that will prolly be a simple answer for most of you, to the left of the steering wheel theres 4 red warning lights. What do they say? Mine are warn off and i looked them up on google images but cant read them. Particularly the bottom.one cause it keeps going on. Thanks in advance

My '86's spare cover looks like this.

Thank you. I thought it was either the oil or brake fluid light. Im gonna download the pic to my phone for reference for now. The whole dash is kinda hack wired from a prev owner. Same with the brake lights / blinkers. The car needs alot of work in general. Have you ever tried to do a fuel sending unit on a 86 fuel injected 5.0? My gas gauge is broke but i hear the sending unit itself is extemely hard to find. Just wondering. Thanks again for your help.

Our '86 is carbureted, so the sender is different. On several Fords I've had I have had to replace the fuel sender float. Including the '86. The brass type floats tend to get a pinholes in them and fill with fuel. New floats can be had at most parts stores pretty cheap. If you have a bad float...
After replacing the float in the rear tank of my F150 twice, the third time I found a "nitrophyl" float from a later model truck and forced it to fit mine instead of the brass. Kind of off the track, but you get the idea that leaky brass floats are a common enough issue.
