Title: Does this sound like a fuse?
Post by: Dmonday on 27 December 2009, 16:33

hi guys,

well after a day freezing in the garage today i ran across a problem, when i dont have my keys in the ignition i dont see my milage of the car, only when i have the key in position 2 & 3

also my interior light no longer works! as im not too great with electrics could this be a fuse / all linked to the same thing?  :shocked:
cheers, Dan

Must be unrelated if your trip is working with ign thats ok. If the int light is not working with the switch or the doors then most likely bulb or fuse.

they both went at the same time  :undecided:
my push start button no longer works either, and when i put the key to position 2 its asif the battery had ran out e.g. sets the clocks back to 0:00

thanks for the help, dan

a bare wire was touching the metal in the dash  :lipsrsealed:

replaced that also and it all seems to be working okay!

I suspect the fuse will blow again, yes you had a bare wire but the circuit is or could be overloaded.
