Citroen Xsara 1.4i Westcoast 1999 - Citroen Xsara Stop Warning Light/Dashboard not lit - SavageSquirrels

Help! Since buying my Xsara back in January this year I have had the intermittant STOP! and exclamation warning light on my dash along with the intolerable beeping sound.

It used to come on once/twice per journey but since wiggling a few wires (as technical as I get) it has now become permanant - I thought it could be bad wiring with the fact it constantly flickers and will go off for a short period if i slightly hit any part of the foot well. Any help greatly appreciated! - I also have a new error of seatbelt/airbag light permanantly on.

As well as that I have a problem with the dahboard light, in that unless I give the dash unit a sharp bang it will remain un lit or very dim despite having the dimmer on full.

Thanks for any advice in advance other than to get it squashed

hi there don't know if you still have this but have you checked the water in the radiator? that normally causes the "STOP!" light to come on
