false warning lights
My 2004 Xfire coupe: a couple of weeks ago the low-oil icon turned on,
oil level was OK. the warning light is intermittent.
Last week the low-water icon turned on,
I added a little water and it went off, for a day or two, then back on.
Checked for water leaks, found none, took it to a good shop which also found no leaks.
They replaced the sensor and the burp tank to no effect.
Today the BAS ESP light was added to the list.
My pretty-good shop suggested taking it to a dealer.
Any other advice will be very welcome, including recommended dealer-shop near Seattle.

Low water icon also comes on when the coolant is too hot. What does the temperature gauge say? If the gauge is OK then maybe another sensor is wonky as well, but I do not know if there are two temp sensors for the coolant. Maybe the fan controller?
Also check fluid level when the car is cold, it is amazing how high the level gets when the engine is hot.

Thanks for the reply,
The battery has been there for enough years to qualify for replacement.
You seem to be implying that could cause warning lights to lite up.
Water icon does not care what the water temp is. it is just on all the time.
The shop that looked at my problems is accustomed to dealing with Mercedes, including the 320 SLK.
But they cannot access what must Chrysler-only programming.

I just know from reading the forum for several years now that when strange things that don't seem to be related start all at once, the battery is often the culprit.
