You'll need to do a paperclip test to find out what fault code has been stored.
The instructions are on here - just do a quick search.

ah and engine....     That makes sense   Wink     Well.   Mine aint on.  The only one that ever is is that bloody washer bottle empty light.  And thats only because it usually is.     Emptys way too fast with the headlight washers connected
