All the light s work fine on my Sierra Sapphire but, the part in the centre console where it tells you the doors are open etc says that I have a problem with all the lights. Any suggestions?

Cheers

The proublem is probably done to a bad earth, i take it you are still using the standard head lamps.
i had the same problem but i changed mine to morrettes anyway but also solved the problem.

 

If it is a bad earth wouldn't the light not work? Everything works fine its just that the centre console thing doesn't think so.

Whats it called by the way?

 

i no what u mean thought mine were'nt working at first when i noticed the warning light but they still worked
all i call it is warning display module not sure if that the correct name though but everyone always knows what your on about

 

Are your sidelights working? Also if you've replaced them with LED items the AWS will complain that they are not working when infact they are.

 

Now then Dave,
An earth can put on a false feed to your warning lights, this is why the appear to be on.
The thing i can suggest is that you clean all the contacts up in your lights, front and rear (all lamps/contatcs). On the Fords the most common problem used to be the back lights and the spade connector terminals, if they get 'furred up' white/green looking, this can cause and earth putting a positive feed onto the lamps. give them a gooc clean up and a smear of vaseline this will prevent the same happening again.

PS Have you shit your pants yet in that 280BHP RWD cossie yet????

Good Luck

PPS. If your still clueless after that then bring your manual / wiring diagram to the cafe on Wednesday and we can try and figure it out!!!! ok?

 

I'll have a look at the connections in the morning. Not had to take a spanner to it as yet which is a bonus. Had a near miss with it the other day with the back end stepping out on me. Just got to get used to I guess. A decent set of tyres are going on it on it this week so I'll see if its any better.

 

I don't finish work while 8 on weds but I have heard that the module's can cause problems. I have a mate with some spares so will swap that if the cleaning doesn't help.
