Try the big connecter under the dash. I had a bad conection there and got the same symptoms as you with the added attraction of music from the buzzer of doom. :lol:

eck !!! wats a big connector??? i too have a buz, but seems to be comin from the flash in me fuze box, had all my earths check, but my clock ie fuel and temp gauge fell out. fuel still works ok, its just the temp gauge, and also when i switch the indicators on, oil and deisel lights and indicators all flash on and off.. my worry is that I wont know when she is truly overheating or when its faking it.

Hi Scoobybuz,
it's a separate unit, my dash had the speedo to the left and fuel and temperature on the right. the temperature gauge unbolts from the dash and the printed circuit.
Sorry for not getting back to you I was expecting a pm if you were interested.
