light troubles

[statomatic]

hello all there is a light that comes up on the dash and a dont know what it is its not the engine light it is a light globe with a ! inthe middle...

replaced every bulb but still comes on but goes away when you touch the brake then comes back on whenmy foot is off the brake pedal

pretty sure thats ya brake warning mate - discs are gettin low - or brake fluid level is low

errr pads are gettin low

[JD]

mates vn clubsport when he put on the brakes the parkers would come on, that light looks like the one that comes one when you have left your lights on so you could be having a similar problem.

can't be just replaced the discs, pads and recoed the calipers. the misses put the bloody thing through the car wash didnt she, and thats when it all started. Im wondering if it maybe thr bcm?

Switch is on the master cylinder I think, so it could be that that is faulty.

[statomatic]

new master cylinder, about the parkers coming on when you brake that means that the wrong brake globes are fitted (single filerment) when they should be a double filerment (brake/tail). i have fixed it it was the boot globe ha ha ha how stupid but anoying cheers............

make sure that the stop light globes are of the right wattage,had to fix a jag once that had the same fault,i found it had a 2 watt globe instead of a 4 watt globe in a parker

Sounds like it is the blown globe warning light - if it goes away when you put your foot on the brake that normally indicates that it's not the brake lights.
people often forget to check the number plate lights - did you replace those?
Other than that, what PRH suggested....

Commodores have these? Never knew what that light was, dont think its that though.

I've just checked my Statesman handbook, and that's exactly what it is- and the person starting this thread has a VQ Statesman....not a Commodore

They still run the same dash clusters, so VQ Stato or not it has the same warning lights a Commodore does (Calais atleast).

True, the components are all there, but are disabled on the Commodore. I'm pretty sure that it's all enabled from berlina upwards....

there are 2 of these types of lamps in the VN-VP which one is it?
one will appear just like you said !,the other one will appear like this (!)
have a look next time you have your ignition on,just before you go to kick it over.
this one is brake problems (!)...now i have never come accross a problem with this one,but i am only assuming it means information !
