The dash warning light for the choke is not working

When I put a voltmeter on the choke wire spade connection at the choke knob end I'm only getting 4 volts

All the other warning lights are working fine btw

Also , were does the choke cable earth itself ?

Any ideas

Many thanks

Through the choke cable....it goes power bulb swicth ground IIRC.

4 volts is your problem....you should see 12 (battery) on open circuit.

Ok , thanks

Where does the positive feed come from to power the choke switch ?
As I'm only getting 4 volts

Thanks

Late cars after VA15001 get a feed for the ignition warning light (white cable) this goes to the choke warning light then to the choke switch via a blue white cable and then to earth
