Hi folks,
Bought a 57 Fabia 2 a few months back, car has run greta until today. Wife took it into town and the speedo and rev counter died. Had a look when she came home and found the following symtoms,
1 ignition on all idiot lights come on but as normal but when the normal lights go out so does the coil light as well.
2. Car starts ok, but no rev counter.
3. Indicators work but no repeater lights or audible sound.
4. Car runs ok no warning lights but no speedo either.
Checked all the fuse's no problems there. Did a bit more checking and...
1 With the hazard lights on, ign off - ind work, repeater lights work, audio works.
2. Switch on ign, hazards still work until the idiot lights go off then no repeater lights and no audio.
3. Swict on an indicator, then ign and ind will work while idiot lights are on then as above.
Have done a bit of google searching and found some reference to a similar problem caused by a voltage reg in the instrument cluster but from 2000 - 2004
Would appreciate any advice help or schematic
cheers Alex
