Mondeo instrument cluster

Dec 23, 2008 4 Replies

Hi all, I have a problem with the instrument cluster. Under normal driving conditions the following happens:- Rev counter stops operating, external temperature defaults to blank lines, speedometer stops operating, trip meter's default to blank lines, engine management lamp illuminates, battery lamp illuminates, external low temperature indicator lamps illuminate. Strangely the fuel level indicator remains operational. The cluster remains in this state for an indeterminate length of time (sometimes briefly sometimes for 20 minutes or so)! Am I looking at an expensive repair or just a loose connection somewhere.



p.s. The problem doesn't appear to be influenced by bumps on the road and the car engine and steering all respond as normal.



Many thanks

I don't know the answer, but if anyone replies I'd be interested to know how to replace a panel bulb in the speedo of said vehicle.

MK3? They're surface mount LEDs.

There's a howto kicking around the internet on how to convert to blue LEDs. There's a fuckload of dash dismantling to do.

Well, that's what I wanted to know, really.
