Electrics No Dash Display !!!

levitronix · 9th July 2008, 22:05

Hey All

Has anyone had this problem, i have no dash display at all no rev counter no speedo no temp no fuel gauge and all warning lights ! power stering fail, airbag fail, engine and vsa,

This is the 3rd time now this has happened to me my car is a type s petrol 10000miles 10 months old. Tomorrow i ll leave the car back again with honda and see what they say this time, cos first time they said they didnt know what caused it secound time i was told it was a bad earth on the dash.

If anyone else has had this happen i would love to hear what honda told them the fault was !!

Sounds like it could be a problem battery

illegalhunter · 9th July 2008, 22:26

Back to the stealers tomorrow for it.

I had the lights flick on and off, warning lights on and we came to the conclusion via this site that it was due to the battery running down.

There has been more than a few posts about batteries losing charge on here, you may wish to have a look through them

do you think maybe you knocked the button that changes the brightness of the dials? if thats been moved it looks like nothing is on in the day time.

and if it is a battery fault - demand a new one - ive had mine cut off whilst driving! v bad.

Well there is one easy way to see if it's the battery - does the engine start????

Pottsy · 10th July 2008, 11:49

As simon1 says, this is not going to be the battery. If you lose the instruments like this then nothing else will work and the car won't start.

Most likely a bad earth, as mentioned - but finding which one is going to be the tricky bit!

mrh339 · 10th July 2008, 11:54

Yep Im going with a bad earth or loose connection as the most likely cause. Should be an easy fix once the dealers find it.

angie4m · 10th July 2008, 12:48

Well my car started and put up warning lights, flicked the headlights on and off in rapid sucession, gave a dodgy reading on the diagnositcs and it seemed to have been caused by sitting with the radio going in the car without the car engine running and causing the battery to lose power.

Pottsy · 10th July 2008, 13:04

Angie, that's not the battery, that's something else. If the battery has enough power to supply hundreds of amps to the starter motor, then it has enough power to supply an amp to the dash.

Thats what I though, but supposedly not.....however with everything they cannot tell you what it is unless it does it in front of them and even then they are stumped!

illegalhunter · 10th July 2008, 14:10

Even when my battery went flat the dash still lit up

levitronix · 10th July 2008, 16:03

No the car still drives and starts , lights indicators and everything else works fine, cars been twice for it before , last time they had to take on of the consoles out on the dash , but i dont think they know what they re looking for because both times honda told me different things where wrong but same fault code, i just hate getting the run around, when honda would be better off saying " we dont know exactly whats wrong !
Any way thanks guys

levitronix · 10th July 2008, 16:18

heres a pic of what it looks like while the engine is running

levitronix · 10th July 2008, 16:28
