Guages and boot release no longer working

[roseytvr]

Hi Guys
Took the griff out yesterday and whilst it drove fine none of my gauges are working. Lights are coming on but either no reading or very low readings on the gauges. It seem like the boot release solenoid may have stuck open and taken out fuses. I have done a search and this appears to be a relatively common problem but unfortunately no replies tell me exactly which fuses are likely to be the culprit. Any ideas to save me stripping out dashes and carpets on the hunt for in line fuses, the fuseboard is not exactly the easiest place to be working either!!
Cheers
Ian

Check fuses in fuse board first. Then check chassis earth points.

Same thing happened to me. Loose wire on the back of the fuse board which seems to power all the dash.
