Battery issue

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I dropped my rado in to the garage yesterday for it's MOT. It passed fortunately, but on driving the car away, I noticed that none of the readings on the dashboard were working. So no mileage counter, speedo not moving, rev counter not moving etc.

 

I drove the car straight back to the garage and they seemed bemused that this could happen.

 

They said that they noticed the battery connectors were a little loose, so they tightened them up, but are not sure why this would have caused any issues with the dash information and speedo etc.

 

They then gave me the number for an auto electrician.

 

I was in a rush to get to work, so didn't kick up a fuss, but after thinking about this, they have obviously done something to cause this, as the car was working fine when I dropped it off. I'll probably end up putting in a complaint and making them fix it, but I was wondering if any mechanically / electrically minded people on here may know what the cause could be, and perhaps I can fix it myself

 

Look forward to hearing people's thoughts

Have you checked all the fuses? If there telling the truth about a loose battery connection there could have been some arcing and blew one. Worth a check to start with.
