Hi all.
in my on going attempts to fix this pain in the *** car I have yet more symptoms, I need to know if they are connected to the existing issues or not.


I have an intermittent fault with the dash clocks. All of a sudden the rev counter and the temp needles will drop to zero, an array of error lights appear, then after 3 seconds it all returns to normal, it can happen ever 20 seconds or not for weeks.....my main issue is with gearbox faults, which can be generated by a whole host of units so im wondering where this fault comes into play


Any insight would be most welcome....

 

When there are multiple instrument panel faults, the first suspect is
the common ground. And especially when it is intermittent.

 

thanks plumbs, could you go a little deeper with where to find the common ground please, ive checked ever obvious groung leads i can find on the car, and quite a few that ive found hidden away too.....

 

Howie, what would be useful is to know what car you have.

Here is the wiring for a 2001 X308.

 

its a 98 XJR
