Wait To Start Light: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A wait-to-start indicator is only found in the instrument clusters for vehicles equipped with an optional diesel engine. This indicator is located in the
lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The wait-to-start indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Diesel Preheat in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An
amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The wait-to-start indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
