Wait-To-Start Indicator: Description

A wait-to-start indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles equipped with an optional diesel engine. The wait-to-start indicator is located near the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face, to the right of center. The wait-to-start indicator consists of an International Control and Display Symbol icon for "Diesel Preheat" imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is located behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the tachometer gauge dial face overlay. The dark outer layer of the gauge dial face overlay prevents the icon from being clearly visible when the indicator is not illuminated. The icon appears silhouetted against an amber field through the translucent outer layer of the gauge dial face overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The wait-to-start indicator lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
