I have a 1991 Suzuki Escudo (like a sidekick) and one of the dashboard warning lights occasionally comes on for a very short period of time, and then goes off again, and I don't know what it means. It looks sort of like a round rectangle with blips at the sides and three wavy lines coming up from the top. (Engine light maybe?) I bought the car used, and the owner no longer had the owner's manual, so I am not sure what the light means. Does anyone know what the different symbols on the dashboard mean? Because the car is old and has been driven often on extremely rough roads, it seems as though it might just be a wiring issue - some of the other lights in the car also occasionally do/don't work or come off and on. Thanks!

I would check to see if you could possibly download the owner's manual from the manufacturer.
As a general rule the symbol for the engine means there is a problem with the engine, and the trans symbol means there is a problem with the trans.
You are right if there is a problem with the wiring then it could cause the lights to come on, but this might affect the engine, it might think there is a problem and try to compensate for the problem?

The little wavy lines going up indicate "heat". Possibly engine overheating.
I don't own one, and I don't know the layout of the lights.
About all I can recommend is checking all fluids and belts.
I wish I could help more.......
