Kaan W Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I have the 2 (!) on the dash light up since making some changes to the car. Is this normal that it senses something been unplugged and changed? Ive changed the gearbox and radiator and had the loom out also and battery disconected for some time.

Littler Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 2? as in the handbrake one as well? brake fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah the handbrake one too as well as the square one in speedo. Brake fluid should be ok as its been untouched and was ok before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this for the airbag light if you haven't already: http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/airbag_light/airbag.htm I'm sure there is a connector near the gear surround for the handbrake light, could've bin knocked?

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 have you taken the level sensor out the brake resevoir when you done the loom tuck?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Ive mailed Ryan to see if this is something he can see through the syvecs or not. - - - Updated - - - have you taken the level sensor out the brake resevoir when you done the loom tuck?? I took the lead off the sensor and put back on but havent removed the actuall sensor itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 ok its not that then! Ermmmm your not being silly and leaving the door open are you? Bonnets open but thats it but I got someone to press the white switch thing down and its still there. Unless I didnt connect the wire back up properly to the bottom of the bonnet switch cause its a strange one to put back together. Would the bonnet switch cause the lights?

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Was it not on before? because my triangle is on all the time! does it flash when you press the overdrive button? but also stay on constant when overdrive is off. Mine does this but cant actually remember why, ill have to ask lee again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Was it not on before? because my triangle is on all the time! idoes it flash when you press the overdrive button? but also stay on constant when overdrive is off On the second day of driving the car I noticed the sqaure triangle flashing and staying on after heavy boosting until engine switched off then on again. Not sure when in overdrive would I need to be driving or can I test this in neutral with engine running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when in overdrive would I need to be driving or can I test this in neutral with engine running? mine is the same im sure its something to do with the autobox ecu and syvecs being linked, maybe wrong on that but my triangle is on for some reason like that, just cant remember. no try it in neutral should flash when on and stay on when off! might be the other way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
