someone please please solve my problem..

[Pistol Pete]

Okay my speedo does not work..
i have had enough throwing money at it to sort it..

So far the clocks have been changed.

( i found the abs light had been removed)

had the ABS unit soldered as per normal fault.

still had abs fault. found to be some cack in the plug for some of the connections.
all cleaned and now okay.

no longer have the abs light up.. i can turn on and off the traction control as req
the ABS work

but still no speedo.... no mpg trip etc either only the fuel in tank and temp works..


please someone solve my problem.. or have i gotta go hunting for a broken wire??

Many thanks,...

cheers

Sounds like there's no power to those clocks (or something along those lines, especially if you've replaced everything else), especially if the trip/mpg thing isn't working.

Just seen your car is a C70, will have a look for some info.

[Pistol Pete]

sorry my car is a v70. t5 1998..

ermm there all the mpg bit works.. i.e. just the 3 dashes on it where its not reading..

the only thing i have noticed is ont he top right hand side of the clocks there a 2 largish metal pins (like the male part of a spade connector) but nothing connected to them...

should there be ??

cheers

I replaced the whole dash twice on mine. Each lasted about 6 months then would slowly die. Last one worked fine untill the speedo stopped and the revcounter read double. No fuel gauge or mileage reading. I suspect that the diodes were fried on the alternator which slowly cooked the dash electrics with rogue ac, but I never proved it! Replace the dash, check ebay

[Pistol Pete]

already replaced it once.. stayed the same as it is now...

cheers

[pyrotechnictigger]

Sorry, thought you just replaced the clocks.

[Pistol Pete]

no sorry the instrument cluster as one unit...

when i changed the were 3 multi plugs on to and the multi plug onthe unit on top of the cluster..

does it sound like there any others mine are missing

cheers

[Pistol Pete]

anyone????
please please please./...

first person to solve it get paypaled 20£

[Vikingxl]

Sounds like you have all the connectors on

[Vikingxl]

When you replaced the clocks did you change the ABS sender unit on top of the clocks over and do you have another one spare to try changing?

I thought i had some pictues here of the clocks but ive lost them

[Pistol Pete]

yeah i changed it for the one that came with the set of clock.. i got off someone on here..

i've got them spare on BT as well & everything works fine, i was told 1 is a speed pulse & the other RPM to wire accessories to

[Pistol Pete]

hmmm speed pulse off one of them... wonder if its worth tryin to get a reading??

wonder what the pulse reading is/should be...

just been out & had alook, the 2 pins are connected together & labeled "12 pulses DIG OUTPUT" which could be referring to speed pulse

[Vikingxl]

Is there any other member near you that could swap abs units and check that the unit itself is 100% its only a small possibility but maybe something else was damaged when the solder repair was done

[Pistol Pete]

i wondered that too.....
The speedo did not work before it had the soldering done...

no members near me i know of..
is the unit easy to change?? worht buying one??

and might it be worth joining those pics together?? Mr fandango? i think thats what you mean that they are joined as in touching each other joined by a wire?

cheers

it comes out of the PCB as one big tab then splits into the 2 spade connectors so both doing the same thing, i did try to take a pic but theirs that much gunk on the windscreen it wouldn't focus on the cluster

[Pistol Pete]

okay cool.. thanks..
hmm
abs unit change then i think??
any one got one they know is good..
and is it an easy swap?
