Lamp fault light "on"

This may be caused by an imbalance in the two rear lamps or an imbalance in the two front sidelights. It may also be caused by the high level brake light not working. You did not say if this was specifically working. The brake lights may also be imbalanced. The lamp fault relay itself may be at fault. There are two IIRC on your car one (reddish cylindrical shape leftmost relay third relay row behind fuses) and one around the lefthand rear wheel well possibly behind the side trim panel.

The lamp fault light is fairly sensitive. I had it going on when I first bought or 960 even though all the lamps were working. Ended up being that the PO replaced the center brake lamp with a non-european bulb (brass base instead of chrome base) of the incorrect value.

If all the lights are working, don't worry about it and just tell the insurance that it was caused by the accident.

Yes, it is *sensitive*. On my 940, the fault light sometimes comes on when it rains hard, even though all the lights all still work, and when the rain stops, the fault light goes out.

The failure relay is located behind the fender-wing-quarter panel that was hit, so that last statement isn't too much of a stretch. And there is no accelerometer anywhere on the 960.

There is, but it is for the SRS (airbags and seatbelt retractors).

All the best, Peter.

What does IIRC Mena?
