Has anyone experienced the Inertia Switch Warning Light suddenly for no reason illuminating but not causing a problem but will not extinguish until eventually timing out after removing the ignition key.Is this another quirky happening with the Aero

Which one is the Inertia Switch Warning Light ?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

If I understand it correctly the inertia switch cuts the fuel pump in the event of a collision or roll over. If your engine was running normally during this anomaly, then likely to be just another Aero electrical gremlin.
I've had the similar with the handbrake and seatbelt warning lights too.

Thanks for your replies must be a gremlin. I tried pressing the inertia switch to perhaps reset things but what happens is that the car is totally isolated with electric power which is what would happen in a collision and you have to physically reset the mechanical switch to restore power, but the light is still on unfortunately.

Simon have you tried the reset button. This should clear the fault that's turning on the light?
Slowly going green

If you have one of those OBD port diagnostic tools you may be able to clear the fault code from the ECU that way and the light would then go out.

Have you tried tripping the circuit breaker on the front of electrics box. I know some owners use this to save the horrendous battery drain when car laid up for more than a few days. Apologies if that is what you meant by mechanical switch.
