Warning Light on Speedfight 2 scooter
 

A little off normal diy topic, but it will be a diy repair.

On a Peugeot Speedfight 2 there are 4 warning lights below the speedo
console.

BLUE for Main beam on the left, then RED for low oil, then GREEN for
turn indicators but does anyone know what the RED one on the right is ?

I have a Haynes manual and all 3 Speedfight wiring diagrams only show
there to be the first 3 lights.

Now the problem is that this light has come on ... now when you turn
ignition away from it's normal running position, this light comes on.
If you remove the key .. the light stays on.

This would tend to suggest to me it's related to charging, but then
why would it stay on when key is removed ?

Anybody know what it's for and what is wrong that keeping it ON.

It's a 50cc water cooled engine, in case it's relevant.

I have no idea, but if you phone your nearest Peugeot scooter dealer they
will tell you. Try Yellow Pages or

How about "low fuel"?

You might run out of fuel :)
Put some more fuel in and see if the light goes out.

Did think of that - filling tank made no difference ...

Low battery if it has one..if you don't have the drivers manual, get one.

I did find two websites that said that the light meant "low fuel".
Perhaps they were wrong. You can't always believe what you read on the
Net :)

Is this a 2-stroke bike? if so does it have a separate 2-stroke oil
tank? If so is it's level OK?

Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst*
method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

I did also alt.scooter, and several yahoo groups on scooters.

.... so far the advice seems to be that this is the 'Immobiliser'
warning light, and one guy included a scan of original French manual
that confirmed it.
Seems it should flash whenever you remove key ! ... it's never done
that.
No advice over what it means if it stays on though....
Tonight I will trace out all imobiliser wiring and check/clean etc.
see if that does it.
