It should be illuminated when your lights and ignition are on.

The thing is the defi control unit only illuminates for a few seconds when i turn on the ignition... I have also noticed before turning on the ignition when the defi gauges go through there necessary checks that one of the defi gauges has come up with a continually illuminated red warning light that continuously beeps until i turn on the ignition & then goes out?....
Any ideas.... :roll:

That all sounds pretty normal.

The control unit illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on and then turns off. The alarm is the fact that there is no oil pressure until you start the car. If it still alarms after the car is started then you may have an issue somewhere.

Does the control unit illuminate when you turn your lights on (with the ignition on also). If so I think all is fine. If not it's probably a dimmer wiring issue.

David.

I'll check this evening but i'm sure when i turn on the headlights with the ignition on the defi control unit doesn't stay illuminated... I'll check again & let you know later... Regards.. Monz. :wink:

I checked the defi control unit last night & it definitely doesn't stay illuminated when the ignition is running with the headlights on...

I'd say check your dimmer switch wire.
