Instrument cluster dead

[Lee Cattle]

Hi All.
Been running my Z for a few weeks now and love it, however just been to garage to fill up and when leaving my gauges have stopped working, so speed, temp, revs and fuel are all showing zero, digital mileage and trip are working fine, tried switching ignition on and off but still the same. Any ideas folks?? It's 1998 1.9. Cheers Lee

Try your fuses mate. Same happened to me a few years ago (2.8). Changed and cured.

When you pop the fuse cover it should tell you what the fuses are and what they should be rated to under the lid.

Thanks Andy. Bit of a false alarm, just been out and switched ignition on and they are working again, will check fuse holder later in case there is a loose connection or something. Thanks Lee

Common thing Lee, may never happen again though.

Sometimes they stop working and you get EEP_1 (or similar, can't remember) on the digital display. Usually you can turn the ignition off and back on and they come back to life. Sometimes you need to leave it a few hours between switching off and on. Not sure why it happens but does on some zeds, had it on mine in the past. Some say it's a dodgy connection behind the cluster, you may never get it again.
