1990 240 GL Dash completely dead -Help

Autonet7 · Dec 8th, 2020, 17:59

Any knowledgeable electronics experts on here. So I removed the cluster to replace a bulb, plugged it all back in, turned ignition to position 2, dash lights illuminated for a split second, then the whole lot went dead.

Now I have nothing, no lights, no gauges. I have just under 12v to pin 32/A, and continuity back through the earth, pin 32/4. I have cleaned the pins, wiggled the plug, but nothing. Car starts fine, everything else works fine, but absolutely zilch from the cluster.

Is there an on-board fuse within the cluster itself? Or is it a case of finding a replacement cluster. It’s just weird that the whole lot has gone dead.

Have had a search (not exhaustive I’ll admit), but cannot find any info on this particular issue.

Anyone experienced a similar issue and discovered why?

Assistance appreciated

Cheers

Derek

Problem solved. There is a fuse link behind and above the speedo. New one ordered.
