OK, this one's a little confusing. :shrug:

 

Some of the dash warning lights have developed a low glow!?

 

All light light up normally when turn the ignition on and seem to go out when start the engine however at night time, or if you look real closely, some of them glow.

 

Lights affected are:

 

Square red hazard in center

Yellow oil level on RHS dash

Three lights on LHS dash

 

Leons spent a few hours but not traced fault so taking it to auto-electrician tommorrow. :giveup:

 

Anyone had this problem before?

Earth fault! I had this :) I got glows on the red warning triangle, the orange cat temp sensor, and the Apexi boost gauge lights would flicker like mad. May have been some others, but the main symptom was the bastard wouldn't start.

 

Check all your earth points in the engine bay...

Wire in alternator had too much resistance (?)

 

Auto electrician sourced the problem removed alternator, fixed, bench tested and refitted in less than three hours. Easy when you know what to look for.
