Title: Speedo, gauges not working and warning lights on
Post by: judge_dredd65 on 07 November 2016, 12:58:57

Hi Guys,

My MV6 is playing up, when I press the accelerator the speedo , rev counter and fuel gauge all stop working, the abs and traction control lights come on, occasionally the airbag warning light too. when i release the accelerator the lights go out and the gauges start working again. Any ideas where to start please

Wiring chaffing somewhere... Probably in the loom behind the dash fuse box...

I would probably start by checking the power sounder loom and go from there...

Wouldn't drive it though :-\

More inclined to think it is abs ecu problems

Nope, something in the loom is gounding... power sounder wiring is in same area and isn't fused... you need to physically check the wiring behind the dash fusebox before the car turns to ash...

Remove the power sounder, then do as dr gollom has said.

Thanks guys, removed power sounder (Did not go off), do not know if it should or not. started car did same so will delve deeper tomorrow. Is the dash fuse box the best place to start?

Just had multimeter on the battery and the voltage is going down by 0.01 volts every 5 secs or so
