    Guys, I stumbled on this forum, courtesy of our friends at Google.
    
    My teenage daughter's Saxo suddenly lost tacho and speedo and the airbag light came on. I tried the "disconnect the battery for a few minutes" advice and bingo! All works fine again.
    
    Thanks so much, you have saved me a lot of time and money!

    Dash suddenly stopped working (speedo/fuel/temp), checked and changed top left fuse - still same. Disconnected battery for half hour. Hey presto.
    
    However, stereo still not working. Fuse OK as other elements operating fine on same fuse circuit. Scratching head still. Plan to pull out stereo tomorrow and check connections at rear. Any other ideas at all guys please?

    My dails stop immediatly when I turn the car off by turning the key.
    
    The dails stop as how it was and the display even seems unpowered..
    
    Any ideas on this one? After a minute the dails reset and the display goes to 1:00. Also the dimming of the leds goes back to full brightness.
