Anyone know what the orange and red lights indicate on the dash clock when starting the ignition?

 

I noticed the orange light doesnt come on when I turn my key - (Ive just fitted a new set of three dash clocks, plus three additionals, voltmeter, water/oil dual, and a time clock). Cant say whether this has always ben the case or not, ive never noticed to be honest! My wifes mini has an orange and red light that both come on when the key is turned?

 

Wondering if it has anything to do with my starting issues? Had to jump the engine using my battery charger (I know..) to get her going. After a fairly long tick over, about an hour, I thought nothing of switching the engine off again. 10 mins later She wont even turn over, even though all the electrics appear to be working (except the orange light!) New time clock is reading the correct time, all the illuminations work as they should, and the new voltmeter is showing just over 11v.

Wondering if theres a fuse for the starter or something that I might have blown whilst fannying about!?

 

Still fairly new to the mini, but starting to find my way around....
