Flashing light in Dash!!!!

ItsOnlyMe_vRS · 03-01-2008, 08:26

Hi,

I have a fab vRS and am getting rather irritated with the light in the dash that indicated that the rear seats are tilted forward.

Does anyone know where the sensor is for the rear seats being tilted so that i can investigate what is causing it, as its getting worse and worse.

Thanks in advance!

Rob

Obvious question but are the seats fully back properly?

I think the switch is near the latch on the rear seats.

I've unlatched them and pushed them back firmly, but this light seems to keep flickering.

Its not even consistent. I've checked it on really bumpy roads and at different speeds.

sounds like the switch or the latch requires adjustment

Had this on a 1.2 last week, the switch is located on seat back that houses the 3 point rear belt. I found that manipulating the switch was enough to get it so that the light wouldn't come on. It is a spring loaded switch and is located on the car body loop that the latch secures to.
