Default Au S1 Fairmont Ghia Security Issue????

Hi All

Since purchasing my S1 Au Fairmont Ghia, I've noticed the red LED light located beside the boot & fuel release buttons has never lit up or flashed???? I believe this may be the security light for the factory imobiliser/alarm???

I pulled the buttons to inspect & noticed the two wires cut to the LED. Is this suppose to flash or something if it were connected when imobiliser is activated. There is no light or symbol on the instrument dash so don't know whats suppose to happen & how to check????

When I turn the lights on I find the boot, fuel release & also the headlight switchs are not backlit???? Are they suppose to light up??? Are there any lights in them???? Can they be replaced if so????

Cheers

The only time i've seen a red light there was the duress light in the taxis. This would light up when the cabbie would press the emergency button on the side of the steering column when he was in danger, and this little red light would just be a representation of the green light on top of the taxi.

But i doubt that's what you've got.

its certainly not factory, that light is put there when an aftermarket security system is installed, i had one put in my s1 fairmont ghia when i got my alarm installed
the previous owner has probably taken the system out to use again
