Hello all

I was wondering if anyone has come across this fault before. When I start the car I would say 9 times out of 10 the fuel gauge and temp gauge seem to lose power for a second and kind of reset I think the fault is also affecting the clock as its losing time each day. I'm thinking the clock could be just about to turn to the next minute but as I start the car its kind of jumping back to the start of the minute again resulting in the car losing a few minutes time each day.

If anyone's got any ideas I would love to hear them

Thank's Andy

If I remember correctly it means a fuse has blown, possibly the one for the dials/clocks.

When it blows it still works using a backup but the flashing is a warning that it’s gone.

I might be wrong be I vaguely remember the symptoms from the days I was on various fiesta forums.

Pulled the glove box out and checked every fuse but can’t seem to find any blown ones

Don’t suppose anyone got a wiring diagram for the early mk6 ?
