Hi,
Re-posting my question with some further info. Basically I have got a strange issues with my custom:
- it starts and drives as expected
- but leds on instrument cluster do not indicate any of: headlight, indicators, low battery, handbrake engaged, seatbelts not fastened, airbags (might be more)
- all the individual components do seem to work (i can toggle headlight, indicators) but they do not come up on the dash when on
- the dash work for speedo, gauges, millage, revs
Today while driving I lost indicators entirely (no ticking, not blinking). They magically started to work after a few minutes again. Yesterday I had some work done on the van that involved removing front door wiring loom so this might be related to that only...
However the dash led issue is consistent and has been so for some weeks now.
So here I am scratching my head how to approach the problem. Some ideas that cross my mind:
- battery is on the way out - how do I test it? I've got a spare leisure battery, would it make sense to temporarily plug it as main battery to test?
- I fitted in switches to rear cargo lights - could this cause any issue (short circuit, change in resistance)?
Anything else I should be checking?
Thanks in advance!
