by illuminate, do you mean full on bright light?.. or just kinda dim light?.. there's 2 red lights that i can think of right now.. one's for the parking break, which would be blinking. and one for the voltmeter warning thing.. i had a problem with my voltage light a while back, thought it was the alternator, but was just the voltage regulator. but when it was bad, the light lite dimly whenever the car was on, until the battery got drained.

not sure if that's what you're asking, hope this helped a bit..
