Hi, I'm new with a dashboard fault

[thomas220284]

My name is Thomas and have recently joined the fiat forum. I have a Stilo 06 plate 1.6 16v Active Sport and have a dodgy dashboard. From reading all the posts similar and visiting my local garage, both suggest I need new clocks.

My question is can I avoid having to replace them by cleaning connections or something and has anyone got any diagrams if I can.

Symptoms of problems:
No dials, Freezing clock, No Recorded milage, certain display lights on i.e indicators sidelights and mainbeam when they are not on.

I have founf that taking out the fuse connected to the dashboard and putting it back in again resets it but not fix it.

Advise please

Thomas!

If I were you I would first try cleaning all electrical contacts to the dashboard before resorting to a replacement.
