A warning light has started to come on intermittently - it is in the surround in the console, not one of the switches. I didn't know it existed and it isn't in the handbook. Anyone know anything? It is an exclamation mark the same as the one in the switch that switches off after a warning has occurred.
The fact that this warning light existed was news to me because it isn't normally visible because it is 'built in' to the console black plastic and only becomes visible when lit, and is directly above the right-hand switch in the console. So until it lights up, it is just the black plastic trim about 1cm wide. But when it comes on their is a red exclamation mark. It isn't on all the time, and can't determine what it is warning of, because there are no other lights, or symptoms.
I've a feeling there may be lights to do with the original alarm (but I replaced that about 15 years ago) and/or cabrio hood (mine's a C2Cpe), or the switch for leaving movement sensors deactivated if you have a dog in the car (which I don't).
Bugs me that there is no reference to it in the handbook.
I can post a piccy but am guessing peeps will either know what I'm talking about and therefore can answer what it is for, or won't it has never come on for them and therefore don't know it is there! I've had the car nearly 20 yrs and never seen it before.
My Porsche servicer who's been doing them since 1989 doesn't know either.
