Most odd, it starts and drives as normal but pressing the function switch has no effect, the dash display stays the same so I can't check water / oil temp.
The click action feels the same and the ribbon cable seems intact with no dodgy solder joints.
Anyone else had this before?

Is the other end of the ribbon cable well seated on the (5/6 ??) pins that project from the circuit board?

I've lost functions when I've removed the top cowling and failed to re-connect the cable plug.

Else - its the switch

Thanks Nick,
I've unplugged and replugged both ends of the cable so as you say most likely the switch itself.
Think I'll try and blast it with contact cleaner
Never a dull moment with a TVR!
