I think the 81-83s have some kind of a "butt sensor" to turn the dash on when you sit down. Mine does, but the idiot lights don't light up when your behind hits the seat. My idiot lights, for example the high temp, only light up when you turn the key to start. Not when there actually is no coolant in the car and it overheats and blows a head gasket.
