Hello everybody.



Is there any particular reason for the rev-counter/tachometerand 'economy' indicator to have stopped working completely, after disconnecting the battery last weekend for a slow overnight recharge ?



Any pointers would be very welcome. The fuses look OK



Many thanks in advance



Andrew Allen



Andrew,

most likely old/fault y batteries in the SI board

do a google search.

The SI batteries have probably died. You need to fit new AA size NICADs with solder tags just behind the service indicator lights. Charge them before installation. I had a 525e with the same fault.

Many thanks to Keith and John for your rapid replies. Oh well, I suppose I'll have to dive into the entrails of the dash board again !

Thanks again

Andrew
