AnswerI'm sure it is, as when i put it to wrong position the light is on all the time, if i put it into right position the light is on only when I'm starting, and the engine is cranking. Any idea what else might be causing this?Check the fuel pump fuse in the fuse block of the engine bay.
if the sound of the engine cranking sounds unusual, your timing belt has snapped.
