no, please prove me wrong. I seriously want to know what this light is now that you brought it up.

the picture proves it, thats good to know seeing that i've never cracked open the manual. I have also heard of some vehicles need specific pressure relief caps that you can only get at a dealer. Did you replace with a generic cap from a parts store?
