Cluster lights on with door open šŸ¤”

Featured Replies

Hiya everyone, my first pester. No idea if I’m in the right place, forgive me if I’m not.

Ok. I’ve just bought a Fabia 1.2 Monte Carlo (was a non runner, timing chain slip) I’ve replaced chain and all running well..except dash warning lights.

Ok, with drivers door open, we have traction light, red oil light, right indicator fixed on.

Close the door, just ā€œdoor ajarā€ light stays on.

Intermittent battery light flickers.

Close door and put seatbelt on..all go off. Open any door inc boot, all come back on again.

Checked wiring at door hinge, all good. Unplug drivers door lock assembly lights go off.

all earths checked all good.

Any ideas….🤮

Might be the cluster connection is loose or got some corrosion. My Octy had weird warning symbols illuminated that made no sense like dpf when it didnt have one plus a few dim ones and fog light symbol on all the time even when lights were off. I removed cluster, cleaned and replaced and it was fine. Remember to disconnect battery before removing cluster.

Ahhhhh thanks Alasdair. I’ll have a gander.

I’ve ordered a drivers door lock etc as when I unplug it, all the glowing warning lights go off.

If no joy, I’ll dive into the cluster.

They seem to be sensitive to bad connections. Probably a poor earth at cluster on mine. Seems to confuse the hell out of the car.
