Instrument Panel Problems

[Guest SPetrie]

My Rev counter, oil temp guage and most importantly my Fuel guage on my 2lt mi have stopped working . I'm thinking it might be a fuse, can anyone confirm this, or have any other ideas,

 

Thanks,

If all 3 have gone, it could very well be the fuse. Check fuse and replace. If problem persists, it may be that the solder on the contact wires has perished, requiring re-soldering.

Does anyone know which fuse it is for these dials, i've got the later model MI with the fuses to the right of the steering wheel (for rhd),

Cheers, Stu

Give it a tap

I found the fuse, changed it and it's blown again, bugger!

[Guest SPetrie]

Anyone have ideas what may be causing the fuse to blow?

 

Thanks,

perhaps blown buld could posible be the problem would pay to whip it out and have a look as the cluster is easy to remove in these

Quick fix... stick a bigger fuse in. There is some logic to this, I'm thinking it may cause the faulty component to fail and show me what is causing the blown fuses. The only thing now is that my indicator stayed on constantly for a while this morning, I wonder if it's related?
