"Live" ignition and associated lights etc????
Discussion
Hi All,
Sorry about the long post but I cannot resist this any longer!
Having just read another post I noticed the OP had his ignition on with associated lights and stereo, mine does nothing!
I just thought that Cerberas didn't have this ignition set up. Should there be a mixed bag of lights, warnings etc with the key turned on without the engine running - like a usual ignition "on" in a "normal" car?
Wait for it....... I get nothing apart from the 2 red lights on the speedo that come on with the engine firing up and go out pretty quickly once the engine starts. I get absolutely nothing once I have used the immobiliser key and turned the cylindrical key to what should be ignition on (apart from my immobiliser led going on timed out). My stereo does not even come on but works fine with the engine on. Also when I turn the engine off with the red button, my stereo goes of even though the cylindrical key is stil "on" in theory. My MIL does not come on either and never has. All the dials work ok and I actually replaced the oil pressure switch within a week of owning the car as it was flickering with the revs (fine since). The fuses are all ok having been individually continuity tested. All of these factors have been the case since I bought the car and I assumed it was normal! Now I'm not so sure.
Others have also mentioned a warning buzzer to change gear.......that would be a luxury....... I have revved the nuts of the car whilst having fun and no buzzers come alive for me!
However, I do seem to have an in built radar detector that "beeps" at me when I am approaching the stationary box speed cameras. You know, the ones usually in the 30 mph zones?
It also seems my car has been readily set up for track days as I also have a big red switch inside the passenger front wing, half way down the engine bay. I have not been brave enough to twist it yet but wil wait until the "Mrs" annoys me and sits in the passenger seat! 😇 I'm also thinking this as my Nitron Suspension is rock hard without any adjustment! Fun
Any thoughts?
Cheers.
