Dials not working!

[bluenotesmiley]

Every dial except the speedometer on my Mk2 VTS are not working. They power up when you turn the ignition on as you can see them move slightly showing that they are powered. I have tried both my Predator ECU and the stock ECU and I get the same problem with both. I have checked the fuses too and they are all intact. Has anyone got any idea what the problem could be, it is really annoying not knowing that the engine is doing.


Cheers

i've had this problem several times, i disconnected the battery and left it for half hour or so. when i reconnected and started it up everything was working again. might not work for you just an idea

I know that sometimes the dials can freeze and not work requiring the battery to be disconnected for a while but I thought that effected all the dials? I'm going to give it a go anyway. Just find it weird all but the speedo fail to work.

I disconnected the battery for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half but it did not sort the issue out.

Any more suggestions?

The issue is the actual dials themselves, I swapped them over for the set out of my other car and they work fine, only problem now if the millage is completely different.

It appears to be that all the data from the larger yellow plug doesn't seem to be getting displayed, as if you unplug it the dials work in the same manner as they did before so it must me something related to that socket itself. I checked the schematics of the dials in the Haynes manual but it is not detailed enough.
