Got me scratching my head this one
I have a 1.6 GLX 6N2. Yesterday fine, then today no dials, no speedo, no rev counter no temp gauge fuel guage, dial light mileage LCD.... Nothing. Just high beam and indicators lights but it starts on the button. Checked the fuse and they are all fine.. every one.. Im stumped. Any ideas please??

If it's a GLX it's a 6N.

Check the earth strap that goes from the engine to the chasis

It sounds like an earthing problem

Wouldn't rule out a dead or dieing battery too if that's the case

Brand new battery and charging at 14 volts. Thats whats so bloody strange. I have no red light on and no dash lights showing at all just indicator and main beam lights. LCD displays are gone no mph or rev counter no water temp or fuel nothing... Bugger all? . Fuse for the dash is fine indeed all the fuses are fine. ??????????????? Checking the earth return in the morning.
