lights

Post by xplosiv »

Hi,

Quick question for you all, when I turn the key in the ignition:-

First turn you get the battery light

Second turn all the other lights

Third turn the car is on

My question is that on the 2nd turn my engine test light and air bag light are on along with others which is right, but when I turn the car on (third turn) the engine light and airbag light go out and come back on again for a second or so is this normal or I am I developing a fault?


Many Thanks,

Andy

I am pretty sure this is normal. I can check tonight and see what lights come on and go out at various points (if the bloody thing starts!!!)

My engine light and airbag light allways stay on for a second after starting, this is not a fault or anything.

The scarey one is where you start the car and the oil level 00000's flash up ''Min_____Max'' meaning there's no oil... mine does this sometimes. :shock:
