red bulb?

jvandyke · 02-19-2007

I wanted to ask what that little red light, between tach and radio is for? Mine is disconnected and since I just pulled the cluster, I wonder if it's something I should hook back up or what? Probably an idiot light for doors or seatbelts brakes?
I can't find it mentioned in the literature I have on hand.

Are you sure it's between the tach and the radio, or is it between the tach and the speedo?

I think you are going to have to provide a picure on this one? There is a light cluster between the tach and the speedo but nothing between the speedo and the radio unless it is a PO mod-maybe for your NOS system??????

I apologize, I grapped my Owner's Manual on my way out the door this morning thinking it had the dash diagram I wanted in it. I can't remember which book that was now anymore. I thought it was where indicated on this picture, this isn't my dash, I borrowed the picture, now I'm doubting myself on location. I'll shut up until I have done more homework and have a picture of MY cluster.

DEFINITELY non-stock!

Mine doesn't have one!
But, maybe it was a warning light when the PO was getting close to 150mph!!

It must be the " Fill the Opel repair ATM light ".

It could be the indicator light for the fog lights you discussed here. Just a thought. Jarrell

some after market car alarms used a small red L.E.D. bulb to show when the alarm was on.I installed one on my dodge van and when it quit working removed everything but the bulb and some wire.

Would be my guess also.
