gauges AND spoiler belly up!

Recommended Posts

last night when i slowed down at a stop light my spoiler went to lower and must have shorted out! its now stuck up, but the odd thing is that when this happened my tachometer, fuel gauge, and coolent temp guage also died. the needles just dropped! are all of these connected in some way! i checked my fuses and they look good, no smoke came from the incident either! any ideas of what could have caused this?

Does the spoiler work off the override switch or is it totally dead? The feed to the controller of the spoiler is taken from the instrument pack. I'm just wondering if the spoiler is the cause or the symptom.

Hi,

 

I've had a look in the Bentley manual at the circuit diagrams and I can't see any link other than the fuses. The fuses for the spoiler are numbers 16 AND 21. I would re-check that these are OK and replace if you are uncertain. If these are OK I would unplug the module and see if that gives you back your dash. Let me know how it goes.

 

Regards

 

Kevin
