On my IH986 the idiot light on the top right side of the instrument panel came on today. The idiot light is an illuminated circle with a horizontal light. What is this indicating? All fluids are good and all gauges are indicating properly. The tractor is operating fine with the exception of the illuminated idiot lamp. Thanks is advance.

Been a while since I"ve seen the lights in the 1086, but sounds like the coolant light. Sometimes the sensor goes bad...

If it"s an arrow pointing down with dots, that"s the indicator for a dirty air filter...

I will verify the coolant level. In my original post the word "light" should have be "line". I just got a little "too relaxed" after a hard day. The gauge was indicating the temp to be on the low side but I have not checked the radiator itself. The idiot light did seem to flicker as I traveled over rough ground and more so as I went up hill. It could very well be coolant therefore I will definitely check same before next use of the tractor. Thanks
