DUBMAN09 0 Posted July 28, 2009 right here we go, i have had a problem with the clocks and temp sensors latley and now my oil light has started to flash even though i have loads of oil :confused4: so.....i got a new speedo senoser from t.p.s, and that sorted the speedo out for about 2 weeks and know all of a sudden the old problem is back, it just dies on the clock, im going along reading 0mph!? could this be a case of faulty clocks?? the speedo pinion that screws into the gearbox is fine, in grittyness or dirt located on it. just seems abit odd?! and i have changed the yellow sensor (heat/clock sensor) but the light is still flashing and there is no movment on the heat gauge on the clock?! :scratch: my damn clocks are one big flashing disco scene and its getting quite annoying! can anyone give me any pointers, diagrams etc, anything to help me out!!!! ????? :scratch: :confused4: :bad-words: :pale: :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millerman 0 Posted July 28, 2009 the oil light flashing means no oil pressure i think not that you have no oil best check that out !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted July 30, 2009 the oil light flashing means no oil pressure i think not that you have no oil best check that out !! Surely too little oil would mean less pressure wouldnt it? :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted July 30, 2009 my rev counter does a similar thing - ie engine is running fine & the rev counter needle just dies, then it bounces around for a while & at some point it gets normal life again however the speedo & all other dials etc remain fine i have wondered if it is a loose wiring connection somewhere behind the dash clocks, as it does sometimes relate with the odd harsh bump/pothole [bloody UK roads grrrrrrr], but ive not been brave enough to start pulling the dash out lol not sure if this helps but might give you an idea maybe :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richie_t 0 Posted July 30, 2009 so.....i got a new speedo senoser from t.p.s, and that sorted the speedo out for about 2 weeks and know all of a sudden the old problem is back, it just dies on the clock, im going along reading 0mph!? could this be a case of faulty clocks?? the speedo pinion that screws into the gearbox is fine, in grittyness or dirt located on it. just seems abit odd?! I had the same trouble with my speedo, swapping the pick up at gear box would fix it for a few hundred miles then back to nothing or random readings, turned out the loom to the clocks from the fuses box was complelty toasted all the way up its lenght, this could also be the pil light problem too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUBMAN09 0 Posted August 2, 2009 yea, i have heard the clicking too. does the speedo have a relay switch or summink?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
