Morning guys,
coming home from work last night I've noticed the lights for speedo and tacho have gone out. Is it a quick fix or auto sparkie job.I pulled each fuse out one by one from the GU under dash fuse box, and checked out every one just to make sure and all look ok, is there something else missing I've over looked?? Common problem?? Thanks unc

Well seems like it's going to head to my auto sparkie to be fixed up. After careful inspection just now, the previous owner has got some cowboy to wire up the IPF's and the winch.
I've looked under the bonnet on drivers side and there is wires running in all directions, that are not the work of a trained sparkie, and also because of this I've discovered, a melt down on a large terminal connecting block on the drivers side near the main fuse box. I'd say this has something to do with things running
hay wire! Also the clock is out of wack and not keeping time. Ah
well best get a pro to look at it this week.

Gday Uncle, can't help with the messy bit, but the dash lights run off the tail lights fuse - I tested every one a while back to find the problem
cheers andrew

be sure its not just the fuse this was a problem on threads a few weeks ago & i ve had it too, if your sub
tank is out as
well the problem will properly be fuse 12???
mine never looks blown but change the fuse & all is ok. you will have to disconnect the battery for the sub
tank switch to reset
