Some relatives came over today to inspect my work on my project car... of course they found a fault i knew nothing about!
Whilst in the garage in the dark i had never switched on the lights, i fixed the fog light when it was outside and never checked it inside.
Well half the lights on the dash don't work, fuel gauge not lit up, entire speedo not lit up and only have of the rev range (0-3.5k) acually lit up
Fook i thought, if someone notices that they won't buy.... so i look in my trusty (some say micky mouse) tool box for implements to fix my problem:
Spanner: Nah no nuts
Knife: Humm possible but make too much damage
Hammer: That might work
Mallet: Again might work (put it to one side)
Ahh yes thats what i want... i get my fists out!
I then go and and 'wack' the speedo cluster with the parm of my hand. - First 'wack' and the fuel gauge lights up!! Whoooo!
Second wack, nothing
third wack, still nothing
4th wack half of the speedo lights up
5th wack, nothing again
6th wack, nothing.
7th wack, nothing
8th wack nothing.
9th wack..... whooooo hoooo all the dash lights up to its full glory and it even fixed some dead pixels in the MID!!!!
Remeber folks never leave your fist out of your tool box
