Car was sat on drive for a few weeks and battery went flat as would be expected. I re-charged the battery and it was at this point the dash has developed problems. Loads of lights being lit, rev counter, petrol, speedo all not working.
I have read all the posts on this common issue and so far tried this:
1. I cleaned the earth on the near side next to the battery/bonnet strut.
2. Removed and checked F53 and F37 fuses.
3. Disconnected earth overnight and reconnected.
4. Replaced the battery!
I can get the dash to go through it's checking process but it never seems to properly sort itself out.
I know this seems to be a common fault and people pay to have the dash repaired. However, it just seems too coincidental that the problem only started after the battery went flat and was re-charged.
Any other ideas? Also, what is the actual fault that is often repaired on these dashboards?
