Dashboard instruments

[CHASTER]

Erotic instruments---- No ;sorry ERRATIC instruments.
My fuel, coolant temp and outside temp indicators sometimes stay on a long time after the ignition is switched off. Sometimes they all come on on their own with no ignition on and then go on and off spasmodically.
They each work correctly whilst I'm motoring.
Puzzled but not WORRIED so long as I can keep on motoring.
Any clues anyone?
PS--thumping the panel does no good-----got the bruises to prove it.

Thanks ZIPPY; Will consult the Willow bible if I get desperate--but thats a long way off yet I hope.:augie
Was hoping some of the club wizzkids might know of some part which is common to these three indicators. Any ideas would be geatfully accepted:bow :thumb2

you could pull it out yourself, and resolder all the joints on the pcb.

Took the instrument pod out last week to fix faulty lights. Did nothing to any guages ----BUT----- the instruments quoted above have worked perfectly since putting panel back. :nenau

Probably a poor connection on one of the connectors, caused by oxidisation.
Remember which one it was :nenau
