john-melbourne 6 Posted June 22, 2008 Hi Guys, Another problem has started with the electrics on my pug! When you switch the lights on the oil pressure and petrol gauge jump up about a quarter of what they were, when you switch the lights off they go back to normal! My rev counter doesnt work my friend checked it with a tester, there is power to the counter but no output, does this mean the rev counter is broke? Also the reverse lights dont work. I have checked the fuses and sensor but no look, A guy who checked it over said there is no live feed going to the switch, and when he put a live feed to it, they started working?? Although he said he didnt want to do this until the rev counter and everything else was working as it should. And now when you are indicating and start turning the wheel the hazard lights sometimes come on! I think my pug is possesed!! Can anyone shed any light on the situation?

Flix 0 Posted June 22, 2008 A lot of weird electrical faults are caused by bad earths. Give all the earthing points a good clean, especially the ones on the front panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Para 82 2 Cars Posted July 9, 2008 I just came back from the garage, I checked everything and clocks are still dodgy. I guess there is no point of looking deeper, i will get new clocks and we will see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flix 0 Posted July 9, 2008 I've just sorted a similar problem with my fuel gauge, turned out to be a bad connection on the clocks. Removed the unit and clean all the connections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
