Spurred on by my recent success I am now looking what the Switch pack module controls
Taken from here :
Lotus Elise Switch Pack Module Repair
Sidelights
Dip Beam Headlights
Main Beam Headlights
Daytime Running Lights Control
Rear Fog Lights
**Illumination**
Soft Touch Button Control
Button Tell Tale Warning Light Drive
Re-Circ Motor Control
Air Con switching functions.
I sort of do have an illumination issue, but no mention of anything to do with starting , or not starting.
The site does mention :
Common faults include relay failure, **circuits switching on and staying on** and random circuit activations.
I have no idea if the odometer / temp area is on a separate relay to the regular backlights on the dials though
