Hello People!

Please I need advice. The gauges on my dashboard just stopped working after a carwash. It was working immediately after the wash. I drove to a shopping mall,parked to buy somethings and noticed that after restarting,the reserve light on the fuel gauge was on and I had fuel in the tank. As I drove off, I observed that all the dash gauges with dials were not functioning- the temperature gauge,fuel gauge,speedometer clock and the gauge that measures revs per minute. All other things are working. A scan was carried out with Autoboss V30 and it is either it wasn't diagnosed by the machine or the technician did not know how to use the scanner. Presently, I am being told different stories as to the solution. Some say I should change the speedometer clock, others say I should change the brainbox. Has anyone experienced this issue? I would appreciate all "fully informed" info/advice on this issue. Thank you.

Thanks bro. I will do a re-check on the fuses personally. My technicians say they checked them all and all the fuses were in order.

That's why i am a little confused. Its not just the ignition here but the gauges etc. Since we really don't know the full history of the car (If there has been prior electrical issues before current owner).

I will start with the obvious and cheapest, the fuses and take it from there.

Thanks guys for the suggestions so far. The fuses all seem to be intact yet the problem persists. Meanwhile, I also noticed that the dash indicator that shows when and which doors are open indicates that some doors are open when the doors are properly closed. Sometimes it indicates 3 doors are open,sometimes it shows only one is open. Also , my mileage reading has dissapeared. It just shows Trip A and Trip B,with the other digits blank. Is it possisible that water got into some electrical wiring in the engine compartment causing a circuit malfunction or something?


@ Kunle,the car was accidented in The States and fixed by the first owner. Unfortunately,I got to know about this after I bought it. I havent had any electrical issues with the car till this point though,

sorry dude. Had a similar problem, though mine was with a baby boy. I was really confused until a smart mech discovered a sensor cable behind the injector assembly unplugged. With that fixed the car was back to its old self. Dunno what the sensor does, but the mech didnt ask for anything, my thanks were enough.

Hope it helps
