Help needed please...

Went out to the Capri last night and turned the ignition on, I heard the fuel pump prime, CD player came on but no ignition light!!! Oh well, loose wire! Or so i though....

 

Set off and noticed that none of the dials were working (apart from oil preasure) and then noticed that the indicators aint working so thought to check the brake lights and they aint coming on either!!!

 

Has anyone any ideas???

 

Cheers peeps

fuse?

could be a bad earth too, i know one of my head lights stopped workin because of that, the onlt way i could sort it was to take a wire from the earth point on the light and connect it to the neg of the bat

Ive checked all the fuses and they are fine! I was thinking it could be a bad earth or something similar, but have no idea where it would be....

not too sure myself actually, have you taken the clocks and dash out to see whats going on?

[adam.wilkinson]

No not yet matey! Gonna go down to the car tomoz and spend an evening on it, like you said, remove all clocks etc! Just wondered if anyone else had come across the same symptoms!

 

I was thinking the loom might have come out the back of the clocks, but the bulbs still come on! Just no dial movement, indicators etc...

 

Gotta love OSFs!lol

might be an ignition switch problem

[adam.wilkinson]

Ah, could give that a go! I aint thought of that one! But if you turn the fan on etc when you put it into position 2 it all comes on as normal!!! You can hear the fuelpump fire up aswel, so it's deffo sending a signal to what ever it should
