The display where it shows if any doors are open etc.... I had a yellow/orange star like symbol come on which is displayed at the top left!! went off after a few mins.....Any ideas what this is?

 

mine does the same,its something to do with the heat outside being warm,if you fire it up and go for a quick run on a winters night it'll show a blue or red star for it being icy iirc

 

There is a red one too that comes on at different temps to warn of ice, the top left, yellow one comes on at +4C, the one to the top right which is RED comes on at 0C .

Much appreciated.....started to think its was engine management or something!!!

 

Correct.

 

The whole of the symbols on mine go off when its cold,i think i must have a poor connection somewhere.

 

The yellow means its cold outside drive with caution
The red one means its friggin cold don't drive like a lunatic

and there was me thinking it was for yellow snow lol

 

Snow isn't yellow unless you piss on it

Exactly it was warning you of it lol

 

Ha ha funny.

 

Great that's another electrical problem my car has, these lights don't appear to work on mine.

Would anyone know where a wiring diagram is for these, I've tried looking in Haynes under Ghire models from a simliar year but had no luck...

 

they have their own ecu mate, there is a little sender under the front chassis crossmember under the driver side headlight that holds the sender

basicly if it's between 1-4 degrees outside the yellow light will come on
if it's 0 or under, the red light comes on
it's a snowflake to remind you that it could be icy outside and is on virtually every ford i've seen over the past 25-30 years of a high enough spec
