Pob 1 Posted November 7, 2007 Hi all, I've finally got my 205 on the road, took it out for a 'spirited drive' and the stop light came on, very very dim then the water warning light came on also very dim. The Water temp was around 4 on the gauge... Any ideas? Thanks, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faz85 0 Posted November 9, 2007 My 306 did very similar, and that was down to a faulty alternator. Did it affect the running of the car? If not it could just be a dodgy earth or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 1 Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) My 306 did very similar, and that was down to a faulty alternator. Did it affect the running of the car? If not it could just be a dodgy earth or something. The alternator has been replaced recently, it doesn't have any running problems just a dim stop light and water temp light. I doesn't light up straight away, it only does it after a long drive. Which earths would effect it? Dan Edited November 9, 2007 by Pob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joey 0 Posted November 9, 2007 sounds like your oil pressure warning light switch could be on yhe way out. this wud explain why the STOP light and the water temp light came on as this switch works both.. i am in the process of changing mine at the moment. Relatively easy to change although access is tricky. its located above the oil filter, there are two switces onto the block, it is the smaller one on the left. 22mm spanner should open it.

Wouldn't the oil pressure light come on for this to happen? Thanks, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joey 0 Posted November 11, 2007 Wouldn't the oil pressure light come on for this to happen? Thanks, Dan Ya youre right Dan, it would. when you turn the ignition on what lights come on the dash?? a quik way to test if your swich is screwed anyway is to pull the spade connector off the switch itself and simply ground it on the block and get somone to check if the lights come on now..What i did was cut a piece of old wiring, pear back both ends of it, shove one end into the spade connector and i clamped the other end onto the block with a vice grip. if they do come on-new switch reqd. hope this is some help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
