cressws1 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Problem started recently, This light on the dashboard flickers almost constantly. I've checked that all doors (including tailgate) are shut and secure. Sometimes whacking the top of the dash solves it temporarily, Sometimes slamming the drivers door solves it temporarily. Im guessing its either going to be the soldering on the back of the cluster, Or one of the sensors on the doors but i've got no idea where to start. Ideally don't really want to take it to an auto electrician and spend loads on something that doesn't affect the running of the car, Its just annoying! Any help greatly appreciated.

cressws1 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 - What do these sensors look like? Where are they located etc? An idiots guide would basically be about my level when it comes to cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
