Title: Dash display problem, help needed.
Post by: Neo Badness on 10 September 2009, 20:33

I've had a look on here and haven't found an answer to my question.

Car has been sitting for a few weeks and I noticed when I started it up that there was no oil light that usually blinks then goes out when you start up. It also doesn't have a trip computer, clock, any of that good stuff which all worked prefectly before being parked up. Car seems to run fine.

I'm confused.

Plug fallen out?

Fuse gone?

Going to have a look on the oil cooler

any suggestions on where to begin greatly appreciated...

Whups, forgot to mention.

 It's a 91 16v with hazard switch on the colum.

ok, 1st check fuse #16 :)

edit: this fuse also does the handbrake warning light, has that stopped working?

I can't honestly remember,

Will check the fuses when I get the car back. Hoping it's something simple as I'm needin some good luck.

I just drove it for 5min down to the body shop as they were crap and sills they fitted welds broke :shocked:

Noticed Rev counter isn't woking either. :rolleyes:

Also seems that the gearbox has dumped it's fluid on the drive as it's been parked up for the 2 months.

It's probably just needin more TLC read (Truck Loads of Cash) :grin:

Then car goes back to garage where had gearbox done.....

Sigh....

Sounds like it's just a fuse. Might as well check them all while you're down there! Mine had 2 more fuses gone I didn't even know about... oops :huh:

Fingers crossed for you on the weldy/gearbox side of things mate

Cheers buddy, as I don't have the car I've been amusing myself polishing a spare inlet manifold. But just found out I've got to go into work tonight to cover a shift :sad:
