Hi all, the selespeed light in my car has been flashing, this oonly happens in the mornings when i am about to start my car for the first time, it will usually go off then I am able to start and drive with no problems over the past few weeks it has gradually taken longer for the light to come off now this morning I open the the car door there was no priming of the pump and the light flashes constantly. The selespeed pump is 10months old I am useless with cars so I am unsure of what the problem is, any ideas out there please??
Probably the pump relay. Can't say for sure which one it is, but probably one of the black ones in front of the battery (although I've seen it be a red one).
Give them a wiggle, and/or take them out one at a time and clean them. You can even swap like ones around to see if that helps.
Just for the record, I think it's normal for the Selespeed light to be flashing if you open the door and quickly turn the ignition on before the system gets up to pressure. It stops flashing when the pump stops (at the correct pressure). At least, that's how mine seems to behave.
I know that isn't a solution to this particular question, but thought it might be a little more information for someone else who might be wondering about the flashing light.
my car seems too be running fine but when my selespeed gearbox changes gear its making a clunking noise, and when it goes into 3rd its making an even bigger noise which doesnt sound too healthy, anyone with any suggestions before a expensive trip too garage as im useless with cars ?
