Dash Ligh

[Thorney_86_VL]

Put the key in the engnition today, and in between on the dash between the speedo and rev counter, a yellow line lit up for the 1st time ever, it has since not done it, any ideas on what the yellow light is or means???????

It was just a yellow box light, nothing else not word or outline????????

Any ideas appreciated

do u have a pic of it?... i got all original vl userbooks... can have a look for ya

[Thorney_86_VL]

Dont have a pic, it only has done it once so far, and it was when i 1st turned it over this morning, it was between the speedo and tacho and beloew the clock in the middle, about 3 down, just a yellow box, type line, thats all, i dont think it could be the Break Faulire Alternatior or Park Break, or Oil Pressure warning light, there all fine, id just love to know what it is

Id appreciate u having a look in the book, i dont have a one

look closer I think your little red lense on one of your warning lights may be loose or missing pretty sure there is no yellow light there!

Hey Guys,

Does the VL have a Low Fuel Warning Light?

Hey Guys,

Does the VL have a Low Fuel Warning Light?

I know that sl-berlina dont. But i think the calais do have it.

[VL Berlina 5speed]

is the back ground of your cluster grey dots or blue squares?
if grey dots its a series 2 calais cluster(only avalible in series 2 calais unlease swaped to difrent car). these have a low fuel light in that area and also low coolant there,
so could be that.
if you have blue squares the dash is either a berlina dash or series 1 calais dash,

Thanks Sean that good because now I know my dash is a berlina dash or series 1 calais

I have some Ideas.

[jatsvl]

my fuel warning light is red and printed FUEL LOW!

[vt_ss_5l]

it Might Even Be The Reverse Light or Low Fuel on the Dash Calais series 2 calais For Sure And Hey Dont Matter if its Not a S2 Calais Car Everyone has Changed These over The Past 19 yr's

[Thorney_86_VL]

Can anyone confirm, is this a series 1 calais dash??? Going on the Blue squares as backing as my theoy is is, also when i brought the car from the mechanic, he did say it had calais seats in it




Problem is, the yellow light came on again, but i had a full tank of petrol, its starting to bug me

[VL Berlina 5speed]

yes that is series one,

ill just quickly go and check my owners manual and find the details on what lights are in the part under the clock for yah.

[VL Berlina 5speed]

well the awnser is all yours, only two feature in that location.
low fuel light and low radiator coolant.

as you have a series 1 dash it is assumed you dont have the low fuel being not a series 2 dash.

so check your coolant or the sensor, if i recall it is half way down the side of the radiator ont he air box side.

hope that helps

I don't think that's a calais dash. It looks like a standard taco dash from a berlina.

[Thorney_86_VL]

thanks VL Berlina 5speed

Will check it out when its day light, i was looking around today trying to tell the diff between the dash standard in the VL Sl and the calais 1

what makes you say that?

heres a way to tell, get a torch point it at the back ground and it might reflect enough to show you what it says, or get sun light on it.

[qwertsta]

what makes you say that?

Because that is the same dash out of my berlina and everyone else's berlina. Under the digital clock in the orange rectangle box it is blank just like berlina's. On the calais dash it has the low fuel light's etc in that rectangle box.

yes the berlina and series one calais shared the same dashes, thats why there is no low fuel light in the series 1 calais. as it wasnt in the berlinas.

the berlinas used that dash in both series where the calais changed in series 2 to the grey dot dash, this was the only dash to have the low fuel warning light

[qwertsta]

Oh ok. I always thought that the calais dash had the low fuel light in all series.

[rb26dett]

Might be a dash out of a BT1

not sure about s1 to series 2, but that is a berlina dash, (or s1??) Calias dashes have full rectangle orange and red around the rev out zone, where berlinas have coloured lines.

There is nothing in the orange rectangle box, that is where the low oil light appears on the sl and exec models.

And it does have calais or berlina seats, they not sl or exec.

Yep that's what i was thinking. I also noticed how the taco doesn't have the bright red or orange where the calais do?? But vl_berlina says that that's how s1 calais where.

[VL Berlina 5speed]

hmm that red line thing is something intressting didnt pick it up,
as for whats in the area below the clock i pulled that info from the holden commodore vl owners manual, but i could possibly got something wrong somewhere

i spent many hours searching for the awnser about the low fuel light and after taking my dash appart and susing it i discoverd that the place where the low fuel light is has a cable running to it but on the other side it doesnt, so bridging the point to a cirtain thing might result in a fuel light
when my cars off the road i might play with that and try and get it.
