    Okay, I never noticed this before, but what is the little red light above the speedometer mean. Can't find a diagram that includes this on the instrument panel explanation. At first I thought it might have something to do with the high beam as Matt said it came on when he turned on the headlights tonight. I tried changing the beams but the light didn't come on for me.

    Thanks darren

    That is what I told Matt it probably was, but when we went downstairs to check we could not get it to come back on by switching the beams. That's why I came here. Does the car have to be in drive for it to come on? We were just in the garage in park.

    i just told him he probably blinded everyone on his way home from the store. (It was his first night drive in the Mav)

    Should work in conjunction with the high beams at all time.

    Interesting, may have a short or bad bulb. Got the big stuff done, now all the little stuff.... :)

    Took pictures today, needed to post again to see if I got them in my signature :)

    Always lots of little stuff. I never seem to run out of things to do on mine.
