    Default VT Calais 5L Power Mode Button

    Hey,

    Ever since I purchased my VT Calais, I've noticed the POWER button nexto the gearbox doesnt work??

    If i push it it doesnt come up with a green POWER light on the dash board, does anyone know how to fix this?


    Thanks,
    MattyC

    Hold mode and up as you start your car and keep pressing the mode key until the mode where all the globes light up on the dash cluster. If the power light doesn't come on, replace the globe. If it does, remove and clean out the switch

    I went into the menu and it doesnt come on but in my previous VT the RPM meter would go to 3.5k and the speed would go to 100km/h on the test mode thing, it doesnt do that on this car.. is it meant to? and yeah the power light didnt come on either..

    Thanks,
    Matthew.
