Can anyone tell me what the small green light is for that sits at the 2 o'clock position in the recess for the oil pressure gauge? It stays on while the car is running.
Opinions differ, but the story I have heard (or read on the old board) is that the light is a Department of Transportation safety requirement, or in reality, Jensen's response to a regulation, that being to illuminate the steering column lock. Kind of klutzy if true, but I've seen worse.
While Greg's explanation certainly is a charming one, Jim's explanation is closer to the truth. In fact it is present to satisfy a US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requirement to illuminate the Hazard switch. I've seen a copy of the regulation, courtesy of Jensen owner Bill Spohn ( WSpohn4@aol.com ).
If memory serves (and assuming that I've read the parts list correctly), for European LHD cars the hole was closed off with a small plastic plug, and is not present at all in RHD cars.
