While rotating the tires of our van, a stud was snapped on the left rear wheel. The mechanic said we had to wait for the part to come in, but the car was safe to drive. As soon as the van started moving, a light on the dash went on indicating there was lug nut missing. The dealer has replaced it, but the dash light (indicating there is a problem with the wheel) remains on. The manual for the vehicle was stolen so I have no resource to find out what to do. Will the dash light eventually go off? 3 Answers
