    Ok, couldn't find the answer here or in the manual (only the "Exhaust System High Temperature Warning Light is mentioned in the manual) . What idiot lights come on when you turn on the ignition? I THINK the only one that doesn't come on in my car is the low fuel warning.

    Joe, I just looked at mine 84QV and when ignition switch to on position the oil pressure gauge idiot light and the Battery sign stays on, the "Slow Down" light turns on then off after 2 sec, then of course the "Parking Brake" light stays on until Ebrake is release.

    Thanks Mike. The seat belt light should also come on and go off. (Is there a buzzer too?) Strange that the only light that doesn't come on is the fuel low level light. Never will understand the Italians...

    The PO disconnected the buzzer never heard it since I got the car, the seat belt light never came on maybe there something wrong with my wiring or bad bulb, the fuel level ligh didn't come on either since I have half a tank of fuel as soon as I turn ignition on the needle peg to half way, but I'm sure if my fuel is low the light will come on.

    I've seen my fuel light flicker if I have a low level of fuel and I make a VERY tight turn. Other than that I have no clue if it, or the gauge, really works correctly!

    Joe, I like to connect the seat belt or door hazard buzzer, do you know where under the dash it is located and what they look like? Thanks

    No, mine doesn't work either. I am rather curious myself. I assume it is connected via seatbelt and pressure plate in the seat?
