Warning lights are off when starting the car

Hi there from Norway

Once in a while when I am in the process of starting the car, only one or two of the warning lights are on (like the e-brake and washer warning light). Other times the warning lights works perfectly. Should I look for a fault in the ignition switch or should I look elsewhere for a solution ?

Warning lights sometimes do not work

Hi there from Norway

Sometimes when I am in the process of starting my 86 RX7 the warning lights do not come on. (Only the "active ones" like the E-brake warning light).

Should I look for a fault in the ignition switch or elsewhere?

Hope to get some hints from you experienced RX-7 people!

Thanks

sound like the cpu connections need to be re-solder. I didn't even know the warning lights light up on start up until a re-solder the cpu connections. If you do a search you will find info on this.

Thanks for the replies. Is it the CPU where the horn relay is located ?

Yes the Horn relay is in the CPU. The CPU is located in the drivers kick panel, black box, with two plugs on the bottom and 1 plug in the middle (on your S4) will say FB01 or FB05 on it.
