Dear Afibee

Very very easy.   Your fuse no.7 is blown.

Check partial diagram attached.

Best regards

Thanks Bob for that nice comment


On the other hand…….  It seems to me as fuse no.7 is blown that the culprit of that is an illumination lead cable in the dashboard not well fixed on its place.   Verify illumination connections behind the speedo and tacho.

If that blows again, I mean….

If not…. Then it’s time to call the DOKTOR, I Mean myself, since that harness will need servicing….

Thank you all. Tomorrow I will check the fuse. Any other troubleshooting will have to wait until family heads home. I hope by Sunday ;)

Thank you all. You saved me from going down the rabbit hole. A replacement fuse fixed the issue.
