smuger111 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I drive an s-max on an 09 plate driving home and the red light (looks like a battery) on the speedo stays on if I stop and turn off the ignition it goes out but comes on after 200 yds any Ideas.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
137699 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Means your battery is low on charge - after a few yds the alternator charges it and hence it goes out. Do you have an aftermarket alarm, radio or sat-nav installed - or do you leave something plugged into one of the power sockets? Maybe something is draining the battery too much between uses? Or does your dashboard stay lit up after you have locked the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuger111 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hi I do have a radio but the fault has got worse the steering has now gone so I back to the dealers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
