Nothing on the dash dials

Post by DoubleOSeven »

I've been messing about...so it's self induced, this one. Old Moss alarm, fog lamp wiring I want to remove. Been trying to get it back to standard...anyway:

1984 Caravelle

Clock works but when turn ignition it stops. No lamps behind speedo work, no movement on the temp gauge.

All fuses look ok

Here are my relays

Any ideas?

Basically, none of these shown below work, i.e. L10's etc. Does this mean relay #3 is Kaputt?

I would think it is more a instruments connector plug fault or an earth issue to the instruments (check the earth crown above the fusebox) those parts are on different circuits apart from the earth return.

Solved. T14. 14 pin connector on back of binnacle had come out slightly.

Cheers BigHerb, got me thinking for a while ! ;)
