Hi all,

My Ph2.5 seems to now have a completely dead dash.

Started it up last night and it just wasn't working.

All the lights/warning lights work fine, and the water temp gauge works, but the speedo, tacho, fuel gauge, oil temp gauge and oil level gauge all are completely dead.

There was no indication that they were going to die, all were working fine about half an hour previous, have never given problems in the past.

I've had a quick check over all fuses and seems to be fine, any other suggestions where to look?

Cheers in advance,

George.

Well it seems it's working again, so something in the act of pulling and replacing fuses must have rectified a bad connection. Don't know which fuse exactly supplies the gauges in question (there are a few marked "instruments") but I'm guessing it was one of these.

i blew my instrument fuse [same one tied in with the interior clock] - soldering it and dropped the wires onto eachother LOL

if no fuse had gone it was probably the shiunt fuse causing it
