Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'The Multicolour Dash Indicator' - A cheap and simple way of showing the status of underbonnet electrical functions. For a very low cost it's easy to add a single dashboard LED that can change from green to red to show the status of electrical systems. For example, the LED can be configured so that it's green when the water level in an intercooler spray reservoir tank is high and red when it's low. No problems with wondering if the LED is broken or a power feed has come adrift... Or the LED can be configured to be off when the intercooler temp is low, red when the temp is high (and the intercooler spray is switched off), and green when the temp is high (but the spray has been switched on). You can even leave the intercooler spray switch in an 'auto' position where the lighting of the green LED will show when the spray is running! It's a neat and compact solution that can be implemented on a range of electricals. You can read the article at: http://www.autospeed.com/A_1870/cms/article.html
