Warning light for choke on my 2000 MY Td5 110

Hello everyone, my 110 has an unused (amber) throttle choke warning light in the LED warning light cluster (obviously redundant and not used at it is not a petrol engine). It is located just below the TC light in the bottom right. Can anyone tell me which pins I would use on the back of the cluster to plug in a wire(s) to illuminate that LED warning?

I would like to use it as a visual warning for something else. There are several unused pins on the small multiplug on the back side of the warning cluster. I cannot determine which ones would be the correct pins to use from my electrical diagrams for my Td5. The manual only shows what is actually used

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

It's not simple pins with bulbs:

I fixed this with a small bypass.

Apply a ground to pin 2 of the 16 pin connector to illuminate the choke symbol.

I've used the same symbol as a warning lamp for my diesel transfer pump (front to rear tank).

If you need to convert a positive feed to a ground use a relay or a transistor driver (I've done the latter).

Roel you do indeed need to bridge some pins on the panel to extinguish the ABS and brake fluid warning lights. This is done on the loom on factory cars.

Got it all working finally. Thanks for the assistance. Unfortunately later today I left my iPad on the front wing (using the diagram as a reference)... I went to the market and lost my tablet on the drive there.

I have my warning light but someone gained an iPad... LOL. Crappy day all in all.

If you have iCloud on the iPad then you can log into iCloud.com from any computer and it will locate your iPad as soon as it connects to a wifi network (or instantly if you have a 4G sim in it).
