Right couple of dash issues, no speedo and ive changed the speed sensor but they were both 2nd hand ones. Also the 2 wee arrows that show your indicators, when i turn the ignition on the right hand one comes on but slightly dull and then when i indicate(either way) its only the right hand one that works, any ideas cos im :?

Sounds like an earthing issue...

Is there a seperate earth for the dash like??

[GIXXERUK 0]

if you take out the right drivers dash vent , there is an earthing point behind there

have you checked the connector the rear of the dash (no bent pins or loose wires)

 

are you sure you dont have 2 separate issues, bad earth on the indicators and a bad signal to the speed sensor ? ie nothing to do with the dash

 

thinkin out loud :-)

i'll check bentley , see if its possible to check the speed sensor also worth checking the speedo is plugged into the dash circuit board correctly, it just pulls off and might not be sitting right

 

shame you dont know anyone close with a rado, its only 10 mins to swop the dash over

If you could check bently to see if there is a way to test the speed sensor that would be ace, cheers guys

there's a test mode in the secret settings on the MFA for the speed sensor. It's a counter which just counts up as the wheels turn...

Tried the other dash and its still the same so i can rule out the dash bein guff, i tried to use my old 16v clocks and put in the speedo cable, the speedo worked but the rev counter didnt, so i have a choice of clocks with no speedo or clocks with no rev counter, can someone please help me out here. The G60 clock loom has 2 extra connectors over the 16v one, one is a black 2 pin connector and one is a white 1 pin connector, could anyone tell me where these connect to on their G60??

 

Cheers
