Speedo cluster help - Matt - 26-02-2012
All my lights have failed.
I've still got the emergency lights and indicators etc
Just no back illumination.
Worked this morning, surley not all the leds blew at the same time?
Sure it's the car telling me to get plasma dials :p

Check the back plug!
Re: Speedo cluster help - kingy - 26-02-2012
2 plugs at the back. blue/yellow. sounds like one has worked its way loose. did it to me after i took mine out.
Speedo cluster help - Matt - 26-02-2012
Surely if it's the plug all lights wouldn't work though?
Re: Speedo cluster help - Connor - 26-02-2012
I wouldn't rule out all the leds failing... they are pretty crap like that tbh
Re: Speedo cluster help - Niall - 26-02-2012
There's 7 LEDs in there iirc. Doubt they all failed at once! if a plug is missing, you would notice as other things would fail. When you turn the lights on, does anything else light up? Like the heater dials and hazard switch?
Speedo cluster help - Matt - 26-02-2012
Literally everthing lights the same, apart from the backlight to the 4 dials

It's french, will probably work next time you go out...
Re: Speedo cluster help - Niall - 26-02-2012
Sounds like a bad connection somewhere then. Give me 10 mins and I will get on auto data and find the supply for the lights.
Re: Speedo cluster help - cully - 26-02-2012
check the plug on the back of the dimmer or the dimmer might have gone faulty
Re: Speedo cluster help - Niall - 26-02-2012
Right firstly, as cully said whip the dimmer switch out and check the plug mic you don't have a dimmer switch, whip the plate that covers where it should be out as the plug plugs onto a bit of metal on the back of this.
If these connections seem fine, bridge the 2 pins on the plug and the try them.
If not, V11s is the lights supply to the dials so find this wire and check the voltage. If there is no voltage, trace it back till you find one.

when i forgot to plug the blue (i think) plug in, i had no speedo, and no temp, even think my feul was nt working. might have summat to do with that. ie yellow plug come loose.
Re: Speedo cluster help - cully - 26-02-2012
supply comes from MF2 to the blue plug on light stalk, check your side lights are working this proves MF2 fuse and the stalk ! then check F11 that supplys the dimmer to the dash,
if that is ok, it then goes to the blue plug on the dash to the lamps then back out to a single earth point drivers footwell i beleive
Speedo cluster help - Matt - 27-02-2012
Right this is sorted now, pulled out the dash dimmer panel, turns out the plug had come loose behind the panel, plugged back back in and it's working again lol
