I notice whenever the "caution" light is illuminated and tell the pilots they say not to worry. Or better yet hit the reset button to turn it off. When the caution light is on there is a problem with the pressurization of the slides, or smoke detectors, or other safety features on the airplane. This just happened (again) on my last trip. We had to take a 321 and do a PHL- Florida turn. We noticed the two red dots of the caution light lit up on the f/a panel and told the pilots. After arguing with them maintenence was called. The mechanics came on board and opened all 8 doors. The doors have to be opened to read the gauges. Lo and behold the 2L door had ZERO pressure. If we had to use that door in an emergency, it would have failed. The mechanics had to bring out some nitrogen to reload the door and then we were off. So, please please don't "reset" the f/a panel...get this checked out. Our pilot was shocked and said that no one ever explained this to him or pilot group. The only reason I knew was a mechanic told me about it a couple years ago.
