2005 Transit Warning Light IDENT

Postby James132 » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:48 pm

Hi all,

I dont have a hand book for my transit and when I started it to leave work today a red spanner has appeared on the right, next to the fuel gauge. Im hoping its just a service light.. but if someone could tell me the correct answer I'd much appreciate it, don't want to cause any more damage if its a major warning.

The van drives and runs just as it always has..

Thanks in advance, if pictures are needed just say and il stick one up.

I believe you're right, probably just the "service Due" lamp.

Since it's an advisory light and not a warning light, you would think the colour should be Amber, and not red :?
