Idiot Light

[id-ee-uht lahyt] n. Slang
A mildly derogatory term for an instrument panel warning light. Referred to as idiot lights because of idiots who don't know how to read the gauges beside the light.

Sensing a sudden loss of power Stewart checked his trusted idiot light on his Bonnie...Sure enough the light was glowing yellow.
