Warning Lights
I bought a '90 A4 Vert w/FX3 late last week. There are two dash lights that are constantly lit. One is the seat belt indicator on the speedometer cluster, and the other is the red words "INFL REST" on the center intelligence center display. I need to know exactly that the "INFL REST" light means.
I bought the car at a non-name brand dealer lot "on the boulevard," and they have offer to have the problems repaired free of charge at the shop around the corner. This location is in the inner city of Los Angeles. I am thinking of paying to have the problem repaired at a Chevy dealer or have it done Dick Gulstrand's shop, as he is a personal acquaintance. I will be seeing him Thursday evening.
The car has dual power sports seats, and the passenger seat is not moving back and forth albeit the fact that the seat back and bolster adjustments are working. The "shop" claims to have diagnosed both problems, but I want to double check their diagnosis against Corvette Forum member expertise. They say that the seat belt indicator light is related to the problem with the seat. I am not sure what they mean about the "INFL REST" diagnosis. I thought that light had something to do with the air bag, but they are saying it is "suspension related"?

Re: Warning Lights (Hamert)
I'm not sure but I would think INFL REST would mean inflatable restraint, i.e. AIR BAG. My '96 light says air bag though.

Re: Warning Lights (Mr Mojo)
:iagree: All of the above.
That is why I am pretty much resolved to spending the money, if necessary, to have the problems diagnosed and repaired at a Chevy dealer, or by Dick Guldstrand himself and his shop. I don't trust the nimrod "shop" where the car was "diagnosed" today.
I bought this car at a "boulevard" dealer, and I believe I got a great deal for $7999 for a '90 Vert with 105K on the clock, but once I drove it off the lot I didn't want any initial repairs done by clueless se habla espanol nimrods in South Gate, CA on the edge of the inner city "hood."
Here's what's happening. I do believe the passenger side seat may be lighting the seat belt light. The seat will not go back and forth, and it appears a switch or something may be broken down below.
I double checked the INFL REST light, and that is definitely air bag related. The nimrod shop suggested it was something to do with the suspension.
