Dash gone blank

[Lee Nelson]

Hi
I've just had a new battery installed 3 days ago not sure if this could be problem

But I've got in to car today and dash has gone totally blank

Got no speedometer no fuel gauge even buttons on steering wheel has gone off

Indicators still work but no indicator sound and lights still work

I've also checked fuses no 28 and 5

Hello and welcome,

I've merged your threads and moved them to the correct section for you, there's no requirement to post the same question across multiple areas of the forum

I would say your new battery had an excess charge and the spike has blown the cluster.

How unlucky, but its a good reason why I always turn the headlamps on when fitting a new battery or starting a vehicle with a boost pack. Any excess electric will draw straight through the bulbs and not the cars ECUs.

Hi
Thanks for the reply
Halfords fitted the battery

Any ideas how I would go about getting this fixed

Thanks lee

I would get it into an MB indy to check the diagnosis before doing anything else.

Agreed on the Indy. Might want to start the conversation with Halfords about a claim (if that’s what has blown it)

Never, ever get those monkeys to do anything to a decent car. Nine times out of ten, they’re as much as a good Indy - and you’re supporting a local business
