Grave Maurice Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi, Tonight I noticed that the battery warning and fuel heater (glow plug?) warning lights remain on at a faint glow on my 2014 Boxer based Elddis Autoquest. They may have been on during the day but I only noticed them driving home in the dark. When the engine is turned off the continued to glow faintly for a good few minutes. The Peugeot handbook only refers to the lights being fully illuminated. Anyone any thoughts or experience of this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 A GOOGLE-search using “dashboard lights glowing faintly” (omitting the quotes) will show that this phenomenon is not that unusual, and the reasons suggested range from poor earthing to imminent alternator-failure. I’m going to suggest that a) this should not happen and b) you won’t be able to fix it yourself. As your motorhome is so new and must be under-warranty it would be sensible to seek advice from a Peugeot agent. The glowing may well be due to something minor and inconsequential, but it would be much better to establish as soon as possible if that’s the case rather than find out the hard way that it’s not!

Grave Maurice Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks. Yes I think I will speak to my local Peugeot dealer although I pass it every day I've never seen any motor homes in there. The van is starting and running normally but as you say it may be suggesting that problems may lie ahead with the alternator or a connection.

Derek Uzzell Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Perhaps your local Peugeot dealership is not geared up to handle servicing/repairs of vehicles over a certain size. It would be worth you making contact as (presumably) you’ll want to have your Autoquest serviced to maintain its Peugeot warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grave Maurice Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Bit of an issue trying to find a Peugeot dealer who does motor homes but got Struans in Perth and diagnosed a faulty instrument panel which will be replaced in the next week or so.

everhopeful Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 You are not alone with this one and it does seem to be the instrument panel. See http://www.motorhomefacts.com/ftopic-174889-days0-orderasc-0.html Mine also does this, although with two different lights, and will be going to Peugeot shortly. I'd forgotten about it until the dark nights arrived, but it will have to be fixed because of the liability of failing the MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
