Safari Dash Lights

Post by the quadfather »

hi guys and girls,
i just drove up the waimak from west melton to the gorge this arvo. The river was quite high! haha parts of the access track further up it was a torrent that came up to the head lights. When going through said water i noticed the orange light below the fuel light started to glow (although quite dull). Does anyone know what this light means?

Cheers guys

i thought it might have been that aswell. it looks like a filter with a hose out each side but under the filter is a drop of water. btw it's a '93

because it occured while you were playing in deep water and coz the lights only a dull glow it'll be an electrical fault not a mechanical fault mate, you'll have water in your electrics :mrgreen:

undo the tap on the bottom and catch what comes out,then give the pump a few hard pushes,then do up the tap,undo the top tap,pump it till no air comes out,then do it up,keep pumping till the plunger goes hard,try starting the truck,and you may have to prime a few more times.
