hi,my stop light came on when starting up my car today, i left the car for about 3 hour came back and its back off, it has been raining badly and i have been driving it about 20 miles today so i reckon it must be a dodgy temp sensor or bitron unit getting soaked, no oil light came on and the oil level water level and water temp where all fine. is this something to be worried about? |

blue sensor is the one that drives the gauge and warning light, so yes the light will go out if you unplug it  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

but if the temp was fine, then it must be faulty blue plug or bitron unit? am i wrong? i guess that only makes the stop light go on if the water temp exceeds a certain amount? |

IIRC there is a diagram in the FAN FAQ showing it hm thought it was, also i am pretty sure my bitron unit needs cleaning or replaceing as ive had 3 engines in and all of them the fans have not worked unless the brown sensor is removed and the relays where all checked, fingers crossed its just the bitron cheers |
