On or Off Quick E30 320 Question

[riber3]

Hi everyone

Just a quick question regarding the overhead console computer as I cannot remember whether it should be All on or off prior to starting the car?

I have fitted a new battery and I'm having blond moment lol (no offence intended).

Currently prior to cranking the car over it is all lit up and I'm sure it wasn't like that beforehand and then mostly goes out during cranking.

Not sure if I have to reset something so any help and advice would be most welcome.

Only light on when I'm starting mine is the brake with the flashing check light on the clocks which both go out when I press the brake.
(Obviously if you have a fault with something the red light will stay illuminated until its rectified)

I'll double check when I next jump in mine if no one else beats me too it

As above, they should all be off except the brake check light which should go off when you press the brake pedal (and all is well with the brake lights )
