It seems to be shift light. Based on the info i've got about it. It is the most useless accessorie in a 300. And apparently it doesn't even work properly.
1999 Volvo S80 T6 Quiet long distance cruiser.
1990 Volvo 360 GLi Waiting inspiration.
1989 Toyota Land Cruiser For days when wellies aren't enough inside the car.
1987 Volvo 360 GLi Being restored.
1986 Volvo 740 Turbo Sold, but not forgotten.

It's a gear shift indicator. It shows when you should change gear to drive economically.

Thanks!

Well...then this light is screwed up! It even lights when I dont give any throttle.

Best regards from Norway!

probably reads off vacum, and there's a leak to it so it stays on?

Just a (probably bad) guess.

It's fed by the renix, not sure what it comes on at, think Foggy said his was around 2500.

You're probably right. But anything's better than a blanking plate ;-)
