[Mk2] [Turbo] No dash lights or rev counter

Post by kidwelld »

Hi, i have just replaced my alternator and had an auto electrician to then replace various fuses and relays. I still have no dash lights or rev counter - speedo works. My 2 is a rev1tubby by the way. Any ideas guys?

As it's a rev 1, the speedo is cable driven. So that explains why it's still working. Did you change the 7.5A "Gauge" fuse? It's fuse 2 behind the driver's side kick panel.

Thanks for your reply iblis - really appreciated. All fuses are ok and auto electrician has changed a couple of relays - still has to change the relay for fan as this is dodgy. Car is now running fine but drains overnight and still has no rev counter or any dash lights. Any further suggestions would be great as autoelectrician proving to be very expensive now and doesnt seem to be getting anywhere! Thanks again, Dave.
