I got into my car to go to work and all my gauges except my temp gauge aren't working. Does anyone know of a common problem or am I going to be head scratching tomorrow? ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

That was easy. I pulled the shunt fuse out and left it while I checked all the fuses, put it back in and all was fine.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

I did try hitting the dash. That usually fixes things like that.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

funny you say this as i had a total dash failure but whilst sat in a traffic jam on the M56 about a month ago. i put my chair back to the furhest position and smashed the corner of the dash near the driver side corner with my heel and it all came back to life  i also had dash failure when i shorted my clock out. i 5a fuse which controls the ignition and all sorts had gone. simples ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Fecks sake mine is doing exactly this at the minute. Tried the shunt fuse and it's not playing ball.Had each and every fuse out of the box inside the car, including the shunt. Had the battery on and off a few times, only the temp gauge is playing ball. Had all the earths off and cleaned them up but need to check them for continuity next. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Have you actually checked all the fuses electrically?Also, is it ONLY the temp gauge which is working and the complete rest of the dash isn't? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

The temp gauge moves off the bottom to somewhere under 70, you can see it move. Oil level and temparature not working. Speedo - stuck at 70, or wherever you push it to. Revs - Stuck at 4500, or wherever you push it to Fuel gauge - stuck at the bottom. Spare set of clocks still the same. Found a loose earth today and changed it but to no joy. Also noticed I have no time on the clock by the cigarette lighter. Haven't electrically checked each fuse, but now you've mentioned it I shall do. Shunt fuse has been out, but nothing seems to die/happen as/when you pull it out and re-insert. Tried waiting a minute, tried ignition on, ignition off etc but nothing seems to happen? Clocks seen working here prior to engine swap:  Clocks did this on first start after engine swap:  Have I wired something back to front maybe? Like the alternator? ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

I get dash lights by the way, and all the warning lamps operate on the clocks, but I get no odometer display.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

 It's a tricky one. To my mind it has to be either a dodgy connection or a blown fuse. Although a blown fuse would not operate the dash at all. How long ago was the engine swap? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Was changed last year, but I went to South Africa so it hasn't turned a wheel yet under its own power.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

In that case I would disconnect, clean up and reconnect the two large round multiplugs on the n/s inner wing where the engine loom joins the car loom.  Dodgy connections here have been known to cause all sorts of issues and I'm gathering that these were messed with when changing the lump over.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Funnily enough I did that yesterday afternoon whilst following the loom, and it all looked healthy! Cleaned for the sake of it and reattached. Welshpug, I shall do that. Gonna get my mate who's an electrical engineer to come have a look see for me but keep the suggestions coming. ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

I can't believe you haven't managed to solve this yet, what a ballache.Can you get behind the dash easily to check you are getting continuity through the wires to the clocks? ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

I'm away again all week so won't be on it till Sunday earliest. Looking at the wiring diagrams it seems the three that don't work all go through the instrumentation control module, so perhaps it is missing a feed.Need to see the car and bay wiring loom diagrams ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

I'm still thinking faulty fuse or fuse holder. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I'll have a look through some wiring diagrams in a bit and see if I can trace a common factor for all of these failures... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
