dash light goin mad!
« on: 09 January 2005, 17:12 »
just about to get me ands on a MK1 CAB. but there are a few probs
1. when i turned on the headlight switch the oil warning light flashes and the bty light came on!!!( ignition turned off.)
2.there is a worn patch in the middle of the drivers seat. They are the seat with the leather trim and cloth middle, does any one know where and how much this would cost to get sorted. I am near salisbury.
3. tried the indicators and the dash light just stayed on, not flashing. indicators not on but all the bulbs are new.
i am new to this forum and a bit of a sprog when it comes to MK1's any help is much appreciated, thanks folks

the indicator problem is linked to the plug on the back of the hazard switch if I remember right. there were 2 separate connections on vixter's cab that caused that problem if they weren't connected.

the headlight problem sounds like a really dodge wiring job.

Check the brown earth wire that goes on one of the bolts on the rear of the rocker cover.

Had the same probem when I bought my cab.
The circuit board on the back of the cluster was broken. Changed the cluster and all is well now.
