It would help if you said what year Z you purchased.

you've got a ZX, and that red square in the middle of the instrument cluster is for the on board diagnostic system. Just to the right of it there is a push knob. With the car running, push it. It SHOULD go through the systems and flash things like (if the radiator is low) RAD LOW (or some such). If a headlamp is out, it'll tell you.

He has an 82 ZX according to his prrofile. Here's the dash:

ahh cool thanks. im used to the subaru forums where it already displays what car you have under your user name. thanks for the responses.
