my lad has a 1.25 fiesta ,y reg, but its developed a weird fault,when you turn on the ignition non of the dials register,ie you start the car but the needles dont move,after around a minute or so they all spring into life,its like its going through a checking procedure or something? also the interior clock cant be adjusted so its an hour out still,any ideas chaps?

 

Think the clock needs to be adjusted with the engine running, or ignition on at least.

No idea about the clocks though. Does nothing at all work, warning bulbs/speedo etc?

 

Will be the fuse blown forget which one 10amp iirc.

 

Does whacking the clocks bring any life to them ?
tabetha

 

Check fuse 13, top row, from left hand side 2nd one in 15amp.

Failing that check the others.

 

cheers folks it was a fuse,7.5 amp one on the bottom row,everythings back to normal now

 

Was close then lol, same thing happens on the mk6 fiesta's.
