Hi all,
After searching the forum for a couple of hours I can't find anything relevant so I am hoping someone on here might be able to shed light on a recent problem with my MKIIb instrument cluster problem.
Most of the warning lights work as they should except for the lights on warning light, the bulb monitoring warning light and there is no background illumination when the lights are on.
I have checked all the usual suspects of fuses, relays and connectors. all seem good.
I got a second set of clocks from the local scrapper and plugged it in and it is doing exactly the same.
I checked all the SMDs with a multimeter and they all glow, so I believe its a power issue somewhere. It is only the side/dipped light warning lights and background that are at fault. The main beam light operates correctly.
Prior to this the bulb monitoring light had been lit constantly when ignition was on I have only owned the car for a month.
Other faults that may have some relevance:
Neither fog or driving lights will switch on or their relevant warning light.
Intermittently at low revs with hard steering lock the headlights will switch off momentarily and occasionally when reversing.
Thanks Adam
