Default Problem with start button light...need advice.

When I start the car the green circle light on the push button is not lighting up anymore....do I need a new button? It lights up fine when the car is off...without the engine running so I know the light works...thanks for any help. I searched but couldn't find anything...

The green light means "ready to start", once the car starts, the light goes out.

Did that suggestion take care of the issue? Or is it not lighting up at all?

Please let us know.

I am fairly certain that upon ignition and turn over; the light is to go off. The reason for that is to not cause distraction to the driver while the vehicle is in operation. You should be okay if it lights up prior to ignition, and goes off after ignition.

Lamp goes "Off" once car's been started, ie, perfectly normal.

No. Car was running and died during a U-turn. and right away the green light was off. Car cranks but green light does not come on and gauges don't cycle.
