Bigggg problem

[Joel1993]

Right.. So i have wired a new rev counter into my facelift 1.0l. The only problem is... The signal wire has completely destroyed the car... Looked at haynes manual... Saw what wire i had to splice... Did that... Went to plug dials back in and heard a frazle sound... Nothin really works... The clock shows up but doesnt change... The buttons on the dials dont work... Fuel gauge doesnt work... Temp gauge doesnt work and also cd player no longer has power.... Any help here i would be highly grateful for...

Have you checked the cluster fuse?

 

[Joel1993]

where abouts is that mate?

Must've spliced the wrong wire.

Blown any fuses in the engine bay?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Forum Runner

 

[Joel1993]

checked all fuses in the fuse box inside the car but unsure where the fuse box is in the engine bay

 

[Joel1993]

right checked all fuses on the car and no problem what so ever... so what does that mean... a big problem me thinks

Sounds like the fuses haven't done their job and you've fried some wiring....or ecu

 

[Joel1993]

the ecu is exactly what i was thinkin... not good.. aint really impressed with myself haha

 

[MicrAde]

Does the car still start and drive ok?

 

[Joel1993]

can someone please tell me the possibility that i have fried the motherboard on the dial set please?

 

[Joel1993]

Yes the car still drives and starts fine mate

 

[MicrAde]

Yes the car still drives and starts fine mate

Probably need a new instrument cluster

 

[Joel1993]

yeahh lets hope thats all what wrong cheers mate

 

[MicrAde]

In the stereo have you checked the fuse on the head unit itself? If that's ok then you may have killed a power/earth cable

 

[SuluR]

you could give the cluster a good sniff to check for any burning smells or any other signs on the cluster. Seems only cluster related to me :/

given the cluster a good.... ahem... Sniff. It doesnt smell like burning or anything like that... could it be a relay... just because the cluster doesnt work but also my CD player doesnt work now either

Nahh I havent mate.... it is an aftermarket ripspeed one but I will check it next... cheers dude

Take it to a motor electrics guy for a diagnostic. The radio on my missus's first micra did not work for probably two years !!
In the end had a leccy guy have a look ( Mobile one) 30 mins later and £15 hey ho!! fixed. One bloody wire in the wrong place - done by the kids who had it before me, wiring up some humongus speakers in the back - now removed, hearings bad enough without a nuclear explosion of sound in the back.

 

[Joel1993]

Hahaha sounds about right with the big speakers haha.... Well thing is mate... The cd player did work... Now it doesnt and yes i will take it to an electrition... Thankyou for the advice dude... Never thought of it haha
