Are you wiring up a DVD player?

How come I get a red light on the dash that looks like the handbrake on light.Its a circle with 2 curves on the outside,this goes out when I start the van,so I suspected a dicky switch,hmmmm,the plot thickens...........

[MrMPuk]

Have you got ABS?

[Curry-er]

The van came with a 'beta-max' player and an 8 track stereo,quality?

Mine comes on when the starter is operated. it is for low fluid level on mine

Oh yeah of course it is, there you go. Give the brake fluid level a check!

[Curry-er]

Just had a look at the wiring diagram,I'm guessing it may be the cold start indicator,which would explain why it goes out when she starts up,DOH!!

[MrMPuk]

If you give us more info on what van you've got it might be easier for us to help!

[Curry-er]

No worries.Sorted!

[MrMPuk]

What was it then?

[Curry-er]

You asked what type of van I had and in direct response to your comment I have now added it to my posts,'95 ,'Smiley',2.5d,lwb/hi-top.
