Dashboard warning lights stay on after key removed

[TDub49]

Good afternoon all. Happy Festives and all that.

Just been out to the moho (Ducato based Ace Siena) to give it a routine engine run and all good except that when I turned off the ignition and removed the ignition key, three warning lights remained dimly lit. Tried switching on and off a few times and turning headlights on and off but they remained on. Went back after half an hour or so and looking though the driver side window could see they were still glowing faintly but when I opened the door for a better look they went out. Interesting I thought . . .

The question is, would I be correct in thinking that this points towards the instrument cluster being on its way out and has anyone else experienced (and had fixed) similar a similar problem?

Same thing happened to our friends,
It was the printed circuit on the back of the dashboard,

There is a known fault with these that costs around £150 to fix

Cartronix in Waterlooville Hants. repair these dash displays and , I believe , also have a while you wait service.

It can cause a voltage drop on the battery, which may in turn affect the airbag ecu which is a very expensive fix. Best get the dash off to Cartronix asap. Mine cost around £600 for the ECU and £150 for the dash repair

Thanks to those who have replied to this. Cartronix it is, which is handy with them being just a short journey away. Should be able to get it fixed while I wait and get it back in all in the same two or three hours.
