I have a m reg ford fiesta 1.1lx and the orange light on the dash keeps flashing?

the light looks like a car skidding on it and it makes a shorting noise any ideas?

Answers:
dose it have abs if so it may need new abs belts on the drive shaft's
This is the Tango warning light. You have enough Oil and Water, but need more Tango.
Do you need to stop for petrol?!? Sorry, that wasn't fair. Have you got the user guide? That would tell you. Anyone got a user guide? .
Sounds like an "icy road" warning.

Perhaps your sensor is faulty or is it really that cold?
take the bulb out and ignore it ford always have niggling little faults
every time it lights up it means you have another bit of rust on it.
If it is the check engine light,an icon of an engine, that is flashing then you have a blockage in your exhaust causing excessive back pressure, I would strongly advise you to get the exhaust system checked out before it does any major damage to your engine. If the check engine light is on steady then you have and air fuel ratio or EGR problem and will not harm anything as long as the engine is running OK. A flashing check engine light should be attended to right away.
If the light that is flashing is an Icon with a gear then it means that your transmission is close to crapping out, so if it is flashing get your trans-axle checked out, If your transmission has a dipstick check the level of your fluid ..
it means there is a fault on the veh, try getting your tracking check as that can bring on the light if that dont work take it for a diagnostic check at your local ford dealer
