Matt Sullivan Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 One minute they're on, the next they're not ...... They'e not blinking, they just go on and off (with headlights on!) every now and again when they feel like it. All of them, speedo, fuel, temp, batt guages. Is this earthing?

Blatman Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Does sound suspiciously like an earth problem. Start with the one on the passenger side, under the dash. Also check the connections on the light switch itself. I had a loose wire on that that caused exactly the same problems as you describe. 5 minutes work with some emery paper and pliers, and all was hunky dory again..........

Tony J Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Mine was the earth wire just above the ignition barrel under the dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyS Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Just to be safe, triple check that your front headlights are in fact ok. I had flickering dash lights which started in terrible rain on the M25 at night! I assumed it was damp, earth etc. My headlights were fine some but not all of the time. It turned out to be a faulty headlight switch which was easy to fix. JonnyS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Riches Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 JonnyS, how's old Wokingham town?, I used to drink in the Three Frogs or the Hope and Anchor, when I grew up there (well sort of), sorry to hear of the light failure, flickering dashlights on my old dunger turned out to be wire from the switch to the panel lamps, having grown tired, and manky, a new wire and some new crimp connectors, and all was fine and dandy. Hope this sheds some light (sorry) on the problem. Regards Nigel, in N.Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
