It worked for a couple of seconds, then died again. I assume it is a loose connection somewhere , can anyone suggest where to start? is there a master connector block somewhere? The Battery light still works, as does the dashboard light. But no other warning lights come on. Is my Dash knacked? cheers all. P.S. I have decided on a full bare metal respray, I have choosen Taigia Green, I know it's not a E21 colour but has anyone ever seen a e21 in this colour? I saw a e12 the other day and it looked great, I don't normally like green, but it looked really good. The wife decided Inka orange would not be a colour she would be seen in

But to pull it out and see what is going on you have to pull the steering wheel. And disconnect the speedo cable. There are 2 main connectors(one on each side of the cluster. Sounds like one needs to be reseated.
