I have been having some problems with the dashboard, temp rev and fuel gauges stop working only speedo work.


I switched to a similar dashboard and the rev dont work and the hand brake light is always on.

I do not know what else to do,
if someone can help me I would appreciate it

I have had the exact same problem. Only, in the reverse order.

Rev counter doesn't work + handbrake light on.
Then
Rev counter doesn't work + handbrake light on + fuel gauge not working + temp gauge not working.

Fuel+temp fixed by new clocks.

The rev counter and handbrake light are still on.
The handbrake light is also a general warning that something isn't right.

Your fuel gauge, try earth the sender closer to the tank.

You have a 1.5D, these don't work the rev counter the same way as a petrol model.

However, you've narrowed it down to a problem with the circuit on Fuse 1.

Fuse 1 is for the coolant control unit, tachometer, and the glow plug relay and warning lights.

It sounds to me like you have a broken wire/earth in the dashboard wiring loom and it is back feeding down Circuit F1.

Have you checked the dashboard earth at the base of the A pillar on the drivers side?

Also, is there anything else that isn't working? Do the side lights work as normal? Do you have power at the cigar lighter socket?

yes i already checked the earth points on both sides. but I haven't test yet if the wire is broken.

tomorrow I will take out the dashboard end test the earth, if the earth is good I will remove wire by wire from the dashboard connector and I hope to find out which wire is causing this problem.

but everything else is working well
