Neither does mine. But does have the ABS symbol on the binnacle, but no bulb in the holder, or wire going to it.
:-k Just as a curiosity.. Where is your defunked ABS light on the warning panel?

As you know Jamie, i now have the white dials, which have all the available warning icons to suit all... But my old black standard binnacle had the ABS (next to hold light) symbol, and the airbag symbol on the opposite segment... No airbags fitted to my bongo either! Both bulb holders empty, no evidence ( drag marks) in the bulb holders of bulbs ever being fitted there, and if memory serves me correctly, no plugs/wires attached either.

I know what you are saying.. I actually traced the circuit back on the dial pod PCB from my empty

Before fitting an led for a rear fog warning..

Where the AFT light should be is non applicable on my tin top. (as it should.)

No air bags on mine either...
I got the white dial, but kept the warnings smoked, the only spare was the "belt" lamp.

I did read some where on here a long time ago (Disregarding the new shape set up with the drive selector over the temp & fuel gauge.) that there were about 4 different warning lamp configurations...

AH! I have my old binnacle (somewhere) But i'd have to hazard a guess as to what cupboard it's in, then which bag/box etc... If i ever happen across it Jamie i'll take a quick piccy mate... :wink:

Cheers! It would have been cool to have a spare ABS lamp......

I could have rigged it up as a warning light for something! :idea:

Great! Cuz i'm working on a mod so that no one with a faulty air-bag or ABS system will fail an MOT due to a light staying on ever again....!
Gonna be a simple set up, routing the power to the relevant bulbs through a 20 amp 5 pin changeover relay off the acc feed??

I've give too much away already! :-#
