Stilo Dashboard died?

First the rev counter and speedo, fuel gauge and temp gauge stopped working. Next day the clock and the rest of the display stopped other than the warning lights. Any ideas?

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

The car has sat on the driveway for 24 hours between the two conditions. I have started it a couple of times yesterday and it started fine so I am not sure about voltage drop.

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

Sounds like your instrument cluster has lost communication temporarily and found it again (bad connection at the rear of the insrument cluster?). I think you may need a proxi alignment from examiner to re synch the instrument cluster to the body computer.

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

The local garage says come along and they will put it on their machine (examiner) which can tell if it has a bad connection because these sorts are logged within its brain. Is this true or am I going to take it there, pay my money and they say no, no fault detected, bring it back when it does it again.

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

If it is a proper Examiner then it will display if it needs proxi alignment and, once realigned, you'll be on your way. It can only detect logged faults if it's actually been logged, not all faults are

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

OK well it has happened again and the garage says its the dashboard and that I need a new one (£263.12 + + = £385.54). They say I cannot buy one form a second hand place because it has to be re-aligned by their computer? Is this true?

Regards

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

You can use a second hand instrument cluster (of the same type) but it has to be proxi aligned i.e. tuned in to all the other nodes and mileage transferred over etc so you'll need Examiner somewhere along the way

Re: Stilo Dashboard died?

Thanks for this info. I will have to see if the garage will do that for me.
