[Mk2] [NA] Dashboard & dash lights not working

Post by Tsia »

Hi guys, can't post the pictures yet to demonstrate, but my dashboard simply doesn't work. Voltage, RPM etc, all sit still. Further to this, only the left hand side backlights work. Does anybody have any ideas as to what it could be? We've checked the fuses and contacts and everything seems fine.

Cheers

Bump 2 for this, my one has had a stroke on one side of it.

Sorry for the late reply here guys, it's the fuse & connections. Take out the dash, replace the 7.5 fuse by the kickplate and voila! All working. (For me)

Good luck!
