Hello I have a stack dash and the problem is the lights on the rev counter are faulty when you first switch the car on they come on fine then after 10 seconds they start to flicker. In the end they go off completly. It must be a component as it does it the same every time and if it was a loose wire it obviously wouldn't do it the same every time anyone got any ideas thanks

i just replaced the voltage reg on my stack fuel level sensor as the lights stopped working. was 31p from RS. but £6.31 inc vat and postage

could be that, but without looking at it, i cant say lol.

i can however sell you a stack ST700SR for £375 lol

If you send it back to Stack they will pull your pants down to fix it. I had a LCD screen change and a white dial face with blue illumination and it was something like £400 !

If you can get it to bits yourself I'd nearly guarantee the parts are easily available through RS or similar.

I can take it apart no problem its just knowing what part has broke and nice sales pitch fudgey lol

I'd imagine once apart it will be easy enough to sort out a new led or whatever it uses.

Their usually quite reliable, mine had lasted since 1996 so it hadn't done bad really.

i doubt its the LED's, mine used 3 surface mount ones and it was the reg

Yep I agree I don't think its the leds as they do come on I think its what feeds them power wise what does the voltage reg look like I'll crack it open and see

mine was this

an 8 pin chip.

basically i looked at the circuit to the led's and traced it back to that chip, put 12v on the gauge and 12v on the light circuit and i had 12v going into the chip, but nothing coming out.

HTH mate.
