half the speedo gone dull
« on: 27 December 2008, 17:23:43 »

as topic - seems to have happened after i replaced a 30amp fuse under the bonnet

as before also i have no heated seats/map reading lights and code 87 (ac cutoff relay voltage low)

is there a description for the relays under the bonnet as the only one i can find has vertually no understandable info on it.

the 30amo fuse i replaced was the middle one in the bank of 3

I guess you'll be changing bulbs in dash ;)

As for relay box, see in Technical Info..

whats made the bulbs on the left hand side go to a low output tho?

surely if i replace them it will just happen again unless i fix the cause?

that info in technical doesnt really tell me anything - just what numbers the relays are

No!

if it is anything like the veccy B there are only a couple or three bulbs to illuminate the instrument panel.  I bet you've lots one on half of the speedo.

It would be incredibly unusual to suffer a failure of the power track on the back on the instrument panel.

I'd suggest you drop into VX, get a full set of illumination bulbs and replace the lot when you have the panel out.  Never done an omega myself but I can take a veccy B panel out an replace it within 45 minutes
