Sounds like the CAT over heating light.

Maybe the front fogs/driving lights have been removed but the switch remains.  Mine has switches for rear window demister, front fogs and rear fogs, the latter added in the UK.

Fish, your thinking about the lights and not the switches.

The switch nearest me on the centre console, behind the

handbrake works the front driving lights, they only work when

side or main headlights are on.

If you push the button in does it make your car go alot quicker by any chance???? ;)

My friend had 3 fog light switches on the centre console and he used to just play with them at will, in the end the engine blew a tip and after he found out that one of the switches was for an RE-A ecu chip ROM thingy and the upped boost was only designed for short periods and when the water temp was nice and low :rolleyes:, so be careful what buttons you play with, lol

left to right just behind the gearbox I have the rear windscreen demister, a blanked switch, and the front fogs.

I don;t know what the middle one was for, but I want to for no better reason than I want to know what I\'m missing!
