Question #1: Does the light go off?

All of our cars (i'm almost positive) have most of the cluster lights come
on when you first start up the car (including the fluid temp led), my guess
is to test wether they work or not (burned out leds) .. But if it only
comes on for a second or so when you start the car, don't worry, it's
supposed to ;).
