Dash warning lights faulty

Ok Opposite the mileage ODO you have the two oil lights (what does yellow one mean) and above that I found out I should have a ABS light that comes on for a few seconds but they all work intermittenly (sp) just this side only, I wriggle the plug makes them flash on and off but it never stays on, Would it be possible to get another circuit thing from Mr T or what can I do with it? lol! :complain:

Definately dry sold joints, had exactly yhe same problem on my last MOT, took the dash off and resoldered all the connections, works perfectly now. When I got the circuit boards out it looked like someone had already repaired a couple of broken tracks using some bridging wires, so check the state of your's too.

 

If this isn't your thing then take the circuits out and get your local TV repairer to re solder the joints for you, it'll be a lot cheaper than replacing them.

When you say they look okay, do you mean you've checked the circuit for continuity or do you literally mean they 'look' okay?

 

When mine started giving me trouble the circuits all 'looked' fine but obviously weren't as when I resoldered all the joints it worked perfectly.

 

If your not to confident with this sort of stuff then take the unit to a local auto electrician or see if there's a forum member near you that might be willing to help.

 

I'd certainly get it properly checked out and resoldered before stumping up the cash for a new unit, they won't be cheap I don't think.
