Argh! Emergency please help :(

[rossmc]

I was reconnecting my stereo today, removed the negative terminal of the battery. Connected everything up and reconnected the battery.

The clock/mileage on the speedometer won't come back on and when starting the engine the fuel gauge etc doesnt move?? The lights come on though, e.g handbrake.

Please help I need to take the car out tomorrow argh!

Car is a 2002 K11

sounds like a fuse has gone...

not 100% on the digital dash setup, but check the fuses on the drivers righthand side of the steering wheel (theres a door you have to pull off).

Had already done that but double checked all the fuses again. The internal light fuse had the speedo on it aswell, phew!!

 

[solarice]

so is that it fixed?

Seems to be I think!

always good when its somthing simple

i spent ages recently trying to source a lighting issue on the dash, after taking all the dash pod apart and tracing the wiring it turned out to be a dry connection in the engine bay (somthing that had been staring at me all the time).
