Peugeot 306 xrdt Speedometer fuel gauge and rev counter dead

[Bonniebabe]

Was working fine yesterday but starting my S Reg Peugeot 306 XRDT this morning I noticed the Speedometer, fuel gauge and rev counter wasn't working, all on 0.

Any suggestions what it could be please and does a garage need to fix it?

I'm sorry to say that Peugeot know all about this one, and its due to a microprocessor failure on the instrument panel......replacement is really the only option - you could head for a breaker and risk things, buy a new instrument panel or contact BBA Reman to see if they can repair yours.
Unfortunately it will be down to you to remove the instrument panel yourself though.

I keep reading about taking out the shunt fuses or something to reset everything, or is this a red herring?

 

[Burnerman]

Certainly there's nothing to stop you removing any fuses or even disconnecting the battery for a while to let the systems reboot......just have the radio code standing by when you reconnect.

A gentleman at work kindly removed the fuse and put it back in and bravo they all work - happy days!
Thank you for taking the time to offer your advice - Merry Christmas

By hell thats a first, and long may your dashboard continue to work.....
If it was mine, I'd expect to sell a kidney or two for a new one.....
Some folks have all the luck
