2.3 Dash Lights

[mikeshe]

My daughter has a Mk1 2.3 Galaxy. On on her dash she has the car diagram where two lights come on at the rear of the car, these then go out when she presses the brake pedal. She doesn't have a handbook so thought this signified that the brake lights were okay.

 

Now though when she presses the brake pedal the nearside light on the dash stays on. All lights on the actual vehicle are working okay, so can anyone enlighten me what these dash lights are actually for and what it means if one stays alight?

Lamp failure, if ones staying lit then you have a failed lamp on that corner of the car - its not just brake lights that it covers so check all the lamps in that cluster.

Thanks Mirez, I'll get her to check the others.
