Hi there
Am a 480 newbieand have discovered a multiplug at the front of the engine that doesn't seem to belong anywhere. Also why is my bulb warning light on when all the bulbs are working i won't even mention the info centre

The dead bulb light isnt all that helpful. You might find its one of the day running lights. They have 2 filaments and use different ones depending on weather the main lights are on or not. Maybe you didnt notice that. Think they're bosch 566's. Multiplug at the front is probably for air con if u havent got it. There's lots of posts on re-soldering info centres around here somewhere.
Good Luck

Hi!
About the dead bulb warning light.
If all bulbs are ok and they light with the same power, there is a common problem. The buld indicator relay. This is located in the boot, rear left.
Because of water leeaking in to the boot, the electric components in this relay often stop to work.
Disconnect the relay and see if the problem remaines.
