Disabled dashboard indicator lights

[shox]

Today i realized that some indicator lights i have on the dashboard has never been on.

(for example, the open door indicator, lights indicator etc).

Does anyone know if they come disabled, or is there some broken fuse?

ibiza MK4, 1.4 Sport.

thanks!

The instrument cluster supports many sensors which are not connected or installed in Ibiza.

For example Ibiza is lacking the sensor needed for the "fasten seatbelt" warning light.
Some of the sensors are connected to the central convenience module, but not to the instrument cluster.

The VDO instrument cluster installed in Ibiza supports following gauges and sensors:

- Sidelights and dip beam
- Power steering
- Left turn indicator
- Coolant temperature gauge
- Ignition lock
- Main beam
- Fuel reserves
- Fuel gauge
- Right turn indicator
- EOBD (Check Engine)
- ESP
- ABS
- Hand brake, brake fluid level too low
- Airbag
- Safety belt
- Tailgate open
- Worn brake pads
- Windscreen washer fluid level
- Driver's side door open
- Oil pressure too low
- Trailer indicator
- E-Gas
- CCS
- Alternator charge control

There is also another variant of the instrument cluster which has additional two gauges: oil temperature gauge and battery charge gauge.

hmm, thanks for the info, seems weird that they put these on the dials then?

Why is that?
You can always retrofit the missing features

Really, how hard would it be to do for example the door open feature?

A single wire to instrument cluster and possibly recoding the central convenience module.

very interesting, what sort of place would carry out this kind of work?
