Technical Tipo Digital Dash Stoped Working!

[priv]

Hi all

I have a tipo and a few weeks ago i started smelling a burning smell. This has now stoped but my dash board is dead i cant see the speedomitor, petrol gage, clock etc but my waning lighs are still going.

Does anyone have a qlue on how to fix his proplem? is this something i can do myself or should i just give up and take it to a garage?

thanks

if you can get your hands on a replacement digidash, plug it in see if its the digidash unit, or a wiring issue firstly.

is the dash easy to get out?

4 screws 2 under the drivers side speaker, you have to take the speaker cover off another 2 screws, the other 2 located under a plastic end where the recess above the glovebox start, you can remove the plastic cover with a small flat screw driver and push away from the steering wheel!!

hope this helps

I used to repair these years ago (.....17 years ago?) there is a transistor that you change.If yuo open it up you should see it clearly if not post a pic....afraid thats all I remember but we done loads of them so might of been a recall???

I have a Tipo (diesel) with a live Digidash for sale. Burst radiator, no MOT, bit battered but otherwise good runner.
