Just wondered if we are unlucky or others have also had problems. In 11 months we have had 3 new instrument panels. We have had warning lights on for things like water in the fuel or bulb failure when cruise control is selected on. Sometimes more than one at a time. We'll see how this one lasts!

Had very similar problem - whenever cruise was switched on I had 2 warning lights. Instrument panel replaced under warranty. My base vehicle is a Peugeot Boxer.

Sounds like us. Just setting off for the ferry for last summer's trip, got water in the fuel filter and ABS failed warning lights, but only when the cruise control was on. 2015 X250. Luckily our Fiat dealer looked at it for us in double quick time, and confirmed it was the instrument cluster, not an actual fault, so off we went. Replaced when we got back 6 weeks later under warranty. Known issue. Our MH dealer says they know of quite a few. Fiat dealer said it first cropped up in Pandas. (Cars not bamboo munchers!). Also our friends with a new to them X250 based MH have just seen the problem.

Our instrument cluster replaced under warranty for exactly the same issue on our 2013 X250.
Main dealer mechanic didn't even get into the cab. Stuck the keys in, ignition on and 5 seconds later new cluster required see it all the time.

Tonight the brake fluid light is dimly lit, remaining on after ignition keys taken out.Peugeot boxer base, autocruise van conversion on a 2013 plate, does this sound like dash failure and if so would it be a warranty case?

The warranty on Boxers is I Believe for 3 years, therefore a 2013 van will be covered. Sounds like the instrument panel but obviously need to look at the fluid level just in case. My vehicle is also an Autocruise but can't blame Swift for this fault!!!!
