Had to happen - old girl lets me down
« on: 23 December 2007, 17:43 »
Just been out to fill the car up with Fuel and i lose ALL dash lights. everything has gone.

Done the search on here,

Dimmer switch checked

Fuse checked

Light switch changed ( proven unit ) and dimmer switch checked

Complete set of clocks changed

Fuse checked again

Bulbs checked ok

So everyone, before i conceed defeat and take a CORSA  :shocked: away for Chrimbo, can anyone offer  advise.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like lots of circuits have failed, I would check earth connetions, fuse box and battery.

SAY NO TO CORSA'S even if it's only for christmas!

good luck
