Customer: I have a 2006 X type. Last week the warning light for the stability control came on on the dashboard, and the red light on the center console did not go on anymore. The machanic at the dealer said there was a crack in the battery, and that battery fluid had corroded the negative cable, and that was what was causing the warning light to come on. They replaced the battery and the cable. The dashboard warning light has gone off, but the red indicator light on the center console still does not light up. Did they fix the problem, and is my stability control really working again. Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to justanswer...

Can you please describe the red light you are referring too ? or , do you know exactly what that light is for already ?

Between the gear shift and the hand brake is a red light with a button to disable the stability control. When you first start the engine the red light goes on and now goes off again right away. When you press the button down to disable the traction control the dashboard light goes on. I believe before I had the problem last week, the red light stayed on all the time unless you turned the tractoin control off.
Hello again, thank you for your reply... I just needed to be sure we were talking about the same light ..

Given that , I would suggest you contact them and have them double check it for you -
The light should come on as the system s self tested on switch on - and then go off.. If its not coming on at all , that doesnt appear right no... what you describe doesn't appear correct.

It can be that the system just needs resetting, or , it may have developed a fault - and as you have obviously paid for the work to be done, its best to have them re check the work for you sooner rather than later before too much time passes - and they say its nothing to do with their work ,if you understand me -

If it turns out that its normal / all is well - then thats fine... but its best to just have them check it diagnostically to ensure all is well at this point now..

Im very pleased to have helped you -

Hello again - just a little added info for you..

A colleague tells me that the light you refer to is likely the security system light - so mention that too them... It may well be they will have to run plug in diagnostic tests to check / reset the system as above....

I hope that helps you further -

Kind Rgds - MIKE..
