Orange flashing light?!?!?!?!?

Post by **MurphyX** » 30 Oct 2006, 17:25

Hello
Can anyone tell me what the orange warning light is (above the hazards switch, on the right of the dash). It flashes on breifly, occassionally when I go round roundabouts.

Its not mentioned in the handbook ... stupid handbook?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Above the hazard light switch on mine is the foglight switch. This has a orange warning light init.

My foglight switch warning lamp was intermittant, untill I took out the lamp and adjusted the contacts.

Its the other way round on mine: Foglights switch at the bottom; Hazards switch in the middle; and the mysterious orange round about light on the top.

I'm assuming that the reason it comes on whilst going round round abouts is that it is indicating a low fluid level (cos the fluid drops below the sensor when taking a sharp bend).

So, its not coolant. Could it be brake or clutch fluid?

no VW installed orange lights, do you have a tow bar? might be indicator relay light to show that indicators on your trailer are working, and got water in the tow electrics somewhere.

You are right Foglight at the bottom. But heated screen switch at the top. Orange light.

and all the squre switches are interchangeable so in theory switches could be moved up and down assuming there is enoegh slack wire behind

Ahaaaaa!!! Yes I have a tow bar (although it doesn't really serve any purpose except to smack me on the head when I crawl out from underneath). I think you must be right about the trailer indicator thing; I experimented going round roundabout without indicating and the orange light didn't come on.

Ta very much!
