Dash stops working when headlights turned on

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

My G60 Corrado (91) has developed a fault where the entire dash stops working when I switch on the sidelights and headlights. Everything on the dash stops working - speedo, revcounter, indicator lights etc. I also noticed that the main beam bulb in the dash is faintly illuminated when this happens.

 

I think it must be some sort of earth fault but was wondering if anyone had any idea's where to start looking to pinpoint the cause. I've done a search on here and google and can't see anything that looks similar.

 

Thanks,

David.

Check the wiring to the headlight switch as this is known to have problems (melts)

Just a thought.

Good luck

OK thanks, will take a look at that. I'm hoping that would be OK though as I put in an upgraded headlight loom a few years ago to take load off that switch and wiring!

Think I might have figured this out thanks to your suggestion - the car has had a new battery recently and I'm betting one of the earth wires for the uprated headlight loom was disconnected and not put back. I'll have to check that later this week when I go to where the car is stored.
