Ford KA 2012 dash lights? - ginge191 - 21-12-2015 Confused with this one - the Mrs' car has just sprung up some warning lights, well, it's the rear fog and engine management light, but they're really dim.  Here's some pictures The first is what you can see when usually driving. and the second is a comparison with the rest of the dash lit up. any ideas? RE: Ford KA 2012 dash lights? - Toms306 - 21-12-2015 Have you checked for any fault codes? No idea why it's dim. Possibly a short somewhere (cluster most likely) illuminating them when they shouldn't be. Could be a pain to trace so hopefully not that. Also seem to remember reading about old Focus' having an issue where the insides of the cluster come apart so the light from other areas seeps through. I can't imagine they'd still be getting that fault though, would think it's a single block with non-replaceable LEDs by now, maybe try a firm push against the front and see if the light changes at all?
