Dials arent working

  1. #1
    has been happening for a while.. but have been just hitting the top of the dash above the dials and theyve been coming back on..
    its just the revs, speedo, petrol, temp gauge, clock and mileage that freezes..
    the lights (for handbrake, lights, indicators etc etc) all still work, but everything else stops..

    like said have been hitting it to bring it back on previously, normally takes a few mins, maybe a little longer lately, but now its been over a day and will not come back on..
    was told about a plug near the linkages in the bay? but have had a look and cnt find anything :/
    will it be a connection at the back of the dials??
    hasnt been too bad as been judging the speed pretty well tbf, but always the possibility of going too fast and getting caught, and with the petrol not reading, have no idea how much/little is in there

    thanks for any help

    Try disconnecting the battery for 1/2 an hr if that doesn`t work then check the connections behind the instruments.If they`re okay then it may be a faulty voltage regulator in the instrument cluster.

    shall go disconnect the battery and see how that goes..
    just looked up a guide on how to remove dials w/o taking wheel off so shall give that a go if batrey fails..
    cheers for help
