No dash power

Post by uniB »

Hi, wondering if anyone has any ideas... I've got no power to my dash; no fuel guage, temp guage, clock, light indication lights etc. I've replaced the two fuses at the top of the fuse box above the relays but that's not worked. I did have a vehicle electrics man testing some stuff in the van last week to see where my battery draw was coming from so I'm not sure if he's dislodged something , if I can't figure it out I'll have to see if I can get him back again.

It's quite scary driving the van without a working temp guage!

The dash has a multipin connector, the first thing I would check is that it is fitted or not loose (partially fitted). On pre 86 vans its a vertical connector and on post 86 vans it's horizontal and can be clearly seen looking upwards under the dash. If it is fitted you need to state what year your van is as there are some slight differences regards the wiring.

Thanks for that, I unplugged the connector and refitted it and all good again now :D I think he's taken the connector off and refitted it without the circuit board connector sandwiched in place!
