Help needed on dash light

[rickster]

Hi guys, driving home from work today and one of the lights on the dash came on. The one below the petrol light and above the oil light, i read in the manual its electrical?? Could anyone give me pointers as to what it could be and how to sort it out? Thanks Ricky. PS my clio is a diesel not sure if that helps

have a wiggle under the passenger seat, clios have poo wiring under there.
my cars lights are allways going on and that sorts it out.

What does it look like???

 

[rickster]

its a yellow sort of coil and a box above the coil, the manual said either electrical, or heat something or other so im not 2 sure what it could be, any ideas would be helpful

Might be a problem with your glow plugs

I was thinking that ryan, on the diesel dont u usually wait 4 that light to go off to start the engine? so that the glow plugs are ready? maybe i should sort some plugs out!

The airbag light might but the electrical fault warning light won't! Indicates either glow plug issues or an electrical fault with the engine electrics/electronics.

The airbag light is on so i'll fiddle with the wire, im getting some glow plugs to see if the other light will go off thanks 4 your help!
