Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,155 Member For: 16y 9m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/06/20 01:12 AM Share Posted 02/06/20 01:12 AM that light is meant to indicate that charging via the alternator is failing... but if the previous owner is telling the truth, then it'll be the sensor for the "charge indicator light" that's failed or the alternator is overcharging.

Foxsayss New Member 3 Member For: 4y 7m 23d Posted 28/06/20 09:03 AM Author Share Posted 28/06/20 09:03 AM Ended up getting a flat after not starting it for a couple of days , got a new battery getting 14.4v coming back to the battery, light is still on in cluster , now my reading light work sporadically like if I've got it on accessories it will come on when the window goes down. Could this have something to do with my ignition ? because I've got to turn it back a notch after starting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
