tuscan warning lights

[bones dog]

Petrol and temperature gage warning lights at the bottm of pod are staying illuminated, petrol is not low and the temperature is not high, it seemed to happen after i washed the car,
has anyone got any idea?
many thanks.

The lights stay on normally, the led screen will flash up a message if petrol is low or water temp high! Mr C

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate that have just bought Tuscan so still learning!

Not a problem, I swear the first time I drove my tuscan at night that all the buttons illuminated and wondered for ages why they had all stopped working, until I investigated further and realised that the buttons are solid alloy! Mr C

Actually the lights should go off. Electronics are horrible in the Tuscans... but can mostly be fixed by cleaning or tightening contacts. When washing your car, there is always a good chance that some things will fail. Often functionality restores itself after a while but that depends on where moisture has gone. If the sensors do not work after some hours again, check the connections.... unfortunately you'll have to open the engine bay for that.... But it should be fixed. Know myself, how anoying those lights can be, when permanetly glowing.. especially during night.

That's interesting, i'm in the third year of tuscan ownership and my lights have always been on. Time to investigate! Mr C

Damn, you are right mrcyeo.... I should have been asleep instead of writing my last message late at night!
The petrol and oil lights right besides the gauges indeed should stay iluminated all the time. Got disctracted by the term "warning light". So everything is fine with the dash if the two lights are on.
