You're good buddy, this is the right section. And welcome!

It may be a bit of a hassle but it might involve taking your clocks out of your dash, then make sure all of the plugs are connected properly. I had this problem with my fuel gauge - always showed empty with the light on. If I hit the glass it sprung back to life. Come to think of it, it still does...

Anyway - before you do that be sure to check your fuses. I think fuse #1 shown here (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5257274&postcount=5) controls some of the gauges. If that doesn't work, check the plugs behind the clocks. You can dismantle them using this guide here (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=170949).

Let us know if all goes okay!
