Ok, that's the main power cable...... That makes NO sense what so ever. :crazy: Does anything else on the cluster work with that disconnected? To clarify, There is ignition light and the infocenter does work (without this cable). But I can't comment on the speedometer because the fuel pump depends ...

Ok, that's the main power cable......

That makes NO sense what so ever.

Does anything else on the cluster work with that disconnected?

No, but the IC is displaying incorrect information and does not respond to turning the knob.

No ignition light, car does start and run. I measured the earth points near the battery and alternator, aswell as the engine, all measure the same 12.22v. No ignition light? Not even with engine off and ignition on? If you have 1000 kroner to spare for your car, you could send the instrument cluste...

Earths should not read 12.2v! So, to be clear, remove the bolts from the below, clean the ring terminals until they're bright metal and bolt back on. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLVmb3BEoUFmtxhAwqYSbTV08jcAk6_H3o579xHdnjOV-yWsSbPFtTeARkGxA33tkNX5CZQW9ldv2ZaZBcvEmG1OaUooAKmF_u0UNsFu0LWx...

So, no ignition warning lamps with the key switched on? Is the car currently starting and running? Check the earth points in the engine bay at the lifting hook (left hand side of engine bay as you look at it) as well as at the alternator - Sometimes that one is earth to the alternator, sometimes to...

Ok, so what currently does and doesn’t work? Have you checked that the dimmer rheostat isn’t turned down? If you shine a light onto the infocentre, can you see any activity on it? There is no activity what I can see, the only light that comes on is door open and side indicators. There used to be ba...

So.... when you said: It is an 87, with blue and yellow connectors. Here is the diagram for the fusebox which might be useful: http://imgur.com/gallery/GqL2Glt I assumed you'd had the dashboard out? If you had, you need to make sure that the colour of the wiring plugs matches the colours of the plu...

Could you explain to me, please?

https://imgur.com/a/QbAk1Cn I checked this underneath, seems to be in order.

https://imgur.com/a/QMjSGIj https://imgur.com/a/TRCwDpk Anything indicative with these cables? think they are radio.

Any suggestions, guys? I am still stuck with this. Pretty much everything works except the dashboard..

Hello and welcome! 480s and their electrics :? . Enough sometimes to drive anyone mad as it can seem as if the car is possessed! :lol: Don't worry - I am sure between us on here we can get you to the bottom of the problems! Which model do you have, and is your car post 1991? If it is 1991 onwards, ...

It is an 87 model

I think the positive pole made contact with the bonnet and shorted the battery, so I have to excuse myself for that one. However... I have already resoldered all the connection points on the dash unit, to no avail. But I don't think the main issue is with the unit itself, because I have seen the IC ...

I have been trying to point out the problem with my 480 for quite some time now and I can't quite figure it out. Most of my dash does not work including the speedo, odometer and info center, only the backlight, indication lights and rev counter, but now the backlight is gone too. Recently some new p...
