Guess what? The old dashboard gauges started to work before the replacement arrived. I don't know whether to be happy or cry! It was the fourth time the car was driven yesterday and the gauges just started working whilst driving along. However, it took a little while for them to start working...

I've just been through a similar thing and I checked all the fuses and relays to try and find a fault with my dashboard. If your fuses are ok then it is worth checking the relays. In mine (99 K11) there are three under the bonnet and four next to the fuses. All together 6 are identical, so it...

Ok, I have managed to test the final relay under the bonnet (the black one - single pole double throw) and it is fine. That was my last possibility for a fault outside the instrument panel, and now I must accept the inevitable. The consensus in the forum also seems to be that another instrument...

Ok - I've done a whole lot of checking which has eliminated a lot of possibilities, here's what I have found: There are four identical relays above the fuses (all single pole, single throw), by removing each relay in turn various things stop working so I can say with confidence that each relay...

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take the gauges out and have a look. Can't help thinking that it is going to be something else though. What I really need is a circuit diagram, does anyone have one that they could email?

Found the relays. There are four with light blue plastic cases. Three are in a row above the fuses and one is above them. They all seem pretty tight, I gave them all a wiggle with the ignition on but no change. I'm wondering how susceptible the relays are to damp? The car stands idle for a lot...

Yorkwils Hey - thanks everyone for such a quick response. I was feeling a bit stupid for getting into this situation but it's really good to know others are so willing to give support. The fuses all seem ok but SuperUno you mentioned a relay that caused the same fault for you. I know I might...

Bought a 99 K11 as a learner car for my son, all was fine for a month and then the gauges packed in. Temp/fuel/speedo all show zero and do nothing. Before I rip the dash apart and possibly make the situation worse, has anyone seen this before and maybe knows what might be the cause. I've...
