Instrument Cluster Warning Lights

Post by Bob K » Tue Sep 08, 2009 8:07 pm

On my 1989 NA6 Eunos, of the four warning lights located in the lower centre of the instrument panel, only the top two, Brake and Charge, light up when the ignition is turned on. I have checked all of the bulbs and expect that the bottom two should light up as well.
My translated handbook doesnt help, could someone please check their car and let me know.
I can see that one is for Heat (exhaust) but I can't identify the other one.
Perhaps you can fill me in with that also.
Thanks,
Bob

I have an NB now but from memory of my NA I am still fairly sure only two
came on, the exhaust heat is only for the Cat converter and I think the one
is spare or an airbag maybe?

According to mine the one you ask about is for the seat belts. You probably do
not have the switch connected to the NZ Standard replacements belts like a lot
of us.
My 'Heat' no longer works since the local Mazda agency disconnected the sensor
for me on the 'zorst instead of hitting me up for a $750 replacement,
ex Japan,
+GST + etc etc. Hope this helps

Thanks Guys for your help.
Re the exhaust temp, I had the cat removed some time ago, that may explain the Heat no show. There is still another sensor connected just down stream from the manifold but I think this is an oxygen sensor.
Hopefully someone will be able to explain which lights glow with the ignition on.
