STOP light come up on from 306 and dont know why

I got my 306 LX 1.4 about 2 weeks ago now but in the last few days the
STOP warning light has randomly flickered on a off and now it flashes
twice when i turn the car on although im not driving anywhere as i
dont want to do any damage. No other lights flash up at the same time
as it so i dont really know what its for. The 306 handbook says the
light is mainly to do with the engine and reading few topics on here
maybe something to do with the cooling. I only know the basics about
cars and have checked the the oil, water, steering levels etc and are
all good. Any ideas, Thanx Phill

 

When my 406 did the same thing I topped up both brake and steering fluid
reservoirs and that cured it. Sounds like you have done that though.

 

Earthing out? maybe a wire is touching some thing,

 

Check the earth kead from the battery to the gearbox and from the
gearbox to the chassis. Give a good tug at the fixing points to make
sure the cable isn't broken or about to break.

 

It doesn't have aircon does it? I had a couple of problems with the Bitron
sensor wires which weren't making good contact i the plug. A squirt of
switch cleaner did the job.

 

Ours turned out to be a dodgy connection in the fan wiring, the fans
would also sometimes run on. Fixed at first by cleaning all the
contacts I could find, but in the end it came back - garage fitted a new
connector pair.
