problem with dashboard - please help!

[gjuro]

Today it was raining in ZG, so I went to a local parkinglot for a bit of practice. But in the middle of my fun the dashboard instruments (revmeter, water temp and oil pressure) stoped working. Speedo ang gas meter are still OK.

Also my car stalled a couple of times, but is working fine now.

I checked connectors in engine bay, everything looks OK.

Where should I look? Behind the dashboard?

try the fuses in the drivers footwell

my petrol guage, heaters, and fuel pump stopped working, it was one fuse down there that done it

thnx big yin, i got the same advice from one experienced hachi owner as well

If the gauges cop out, it's either a loose power connection somewhere, or the connector to the back of the dash has come loose.

yep, plenty of theese old conector have lost their vitality, and when driven roughly, they might come of (my heater conector has).. so first check the fuses, if thats okay, your problem should be behind the dash. use voltmeter to check it out.

it was burned fuse that caused the problem. thnx, guys

[Apolan]

Good to hear that!

[gjuro]

same problem is back. i changed 3 fuses in 2 days, they last about half an hour. I'll try to buy some better quality fuses but i doubt that will solve the problem.

Has any1 had the same problem?

Looks like something is frying your fuses. Some wires could be shorting somewhere..
